A black circle sits suspended against a dark background, surrounded by an explosive halo of warm orange, gold, and red that radiates outward like a cosmic burst or eclipse. Thin vertical streaks of cyan and blue pierce through the composition top and bottom, creating a sense of energy and tension that contrasts sharply with the void at the center. 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.
