Handwritten script in black ink flows across a white ground, spelling out a longer passage that begins with "Once upon a time there was a girl that said fuck this shit..." The cursive lettering is loose and gestural, with an intimate, rebellious energy that transforms a fairytale opening into a declaration of independence and self-determination. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
