A brown and white pointer stands in profile against a soft beige ground, rendered in spare line work with minimal color blocking. The dog's attentive posture and lifted tail convey quiet alertness, captured with an economical illustrative style that emphasizes form over detail. 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.
