A stylized black swan rendered in bold silhouette forms the number 2, with elegant curved lines creating the bird's long neck and body against a clean white ground. The lettering "THE BLACK SWAN" sits integrated into the composition, using strong, classical capitals that balance the organic fluidity of the swan itself. 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.
