A geometric compass rose radiates from a deep red central circle, its sixteen points adorned with alternating triangles in jewel tones of blue, green, and crimson, all rendered in the ornate style of a Renaissance navigational chart. Fine grid lines overlay the composition while a golden crown tops the artwork, evoking the maritime precision and royal patronage of early exploration. 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.
