A cheerful yellow tulip with a smiling face blooms from a sturdy green stem against a warm coral-red ground, rendered in bold, graphic lines with a thick black outline. The composition radiates childlike optimism through its simple forms and joyful expression, evoking the playful spirit of mid-century illustration. 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.
