The regular squares bend and curve with fluid movement, creating an optical illusion that suggests depth and motion while maintaining the simplicity of a two-tone palette. 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.
