A figure's face is partially obscured by a sweeping horizontal line that crosses through the composition, creating a sense of mystery and concealment. Rendered in bold black ink against a pale ground, the minimalist portrait emphasizes sharp facial features and expressive eyes while the graphic line introduces an element of visual disruption and dreamlike abstraction. 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.
