A steep outdoor stairway ascends between vivid red-painted walls adorned with folk art patterns and ceramic tiles, its steps painted in bold bands of yellow, blue, orange, and multicolored geometric artworks. The composition draws the eye upward through this narrow urban passage, where vegetation frames the top and the saturated colors create an almost celebratory energy against the textured architectural surfaces. 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.
