A white hand raised in a peace gesture floats centered against a warm golden yellow ground, outlined in bold black lines that give it a graphic, iconic quality. The simplified, almost cartoon-like rendering conveys optimism and calm through its clean composition and cheerful color contrast. 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.
