A figure with an oversized head and wide eyes stares outward with an expression of wonder or alarm, rendered in delicate line work across a weathered, cream-colored ground. The composition balances geometric and organic forms, with angular limbs and decorative elements suggesting movement, while the aged, textured surface evokes the quality of an ancient manuscript or discovered artifact. 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.
