The irregular, organic quality of the gridwork and the pastel palette evoke a leisurely, almost meditative sensibility rather than geometric precision. 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.
