A checkerboard grid in black and cream alternates across the composition, interrupted by five cheerful smiley faces rendered in simple line work with solid black eyes and curved mouths. The faces float casually across the board at varying positions, creating a playful rhythm that balances geometric order with organic placement and lighthearted 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.
