The composition balances geometric severity with organic, hand-drawn quality, suggesting movement and texture through restraint. 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.
