A stylized orange tiger with bold black stripes stretches forward in a playful prowl across a dark charcoal background, its wide-eyed expression and open mouth conveying both curiosity and mischief. The figure is rendered in a graphic, almost geometric approach where the striping pattern creates visual rhythm across the animal's muscular form, from its alert face to its dramatically curved tail. 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.
