A figure sits slumped inside a long, spotted party popper with its cone launcher pointed upward, rendered in simple black line work against a soft beige ground. The composition is spare and witty, using minimal color and detail to convey deflated resignation within a celebration's trappings. 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.
