A striped raccoon with expressive eyes and pointed ears stands centered against a warm pink ground, its body rendered in bold horizontal bands of black and cream. Stylized botanical forms in gray-blue flank the creature on either side, creating a folk-art composition with playful character and gentle, hand-drawn charm. 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.
