A deer with impressive branching antlers wears a chunky knit sweater in deep burgundy, its warm brown face gazing thoughtfully forward while small birds perch among its antlers. The composition is rendered in soft, naturalistic tones against a weathered cream and gold background, combining whimsy with a contemplative, storybook sensibility. 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.
