A narrow Tokyo alleyway rendered in stark black ink lines recedes into the distance, its walls crowded with tangled power lines and small signage that speak to urban density and layered history. A bold crimson sun hovers overhead like a deliberate punctuation mark, cutting through the monochromatic scene with graphic intensity and evoking both the Japanese flag and the promise of dawn. 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.
