A black and white striped cat sits upright against a warm rust-orange ground, its body composed entirely of bold horizontal lines that create a graphic, almost architectural form. The feline's alert posture, pointed ears, and watchful eye convey quiet dignity while the high-contrast palette and flat, geometric approach evoke mid-century modern 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.
