A sleek black cat with golden eyes stretches across a soft sage-green ground, its tail curled expressively as it wears a decorative collar and gazes directly outward. Japanese characters and text frame the composition in a warmly colored palette, capturing the graphic sensibility of early twentieth-century advertising art with bold outlines and a playful sense of movement. 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.
