The soft color palette and slightly imperfect lines create a warm, approachable mood that feels both contemporary and nostalgic. 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.
