The overlapping squares shift in tone and saturation, producing a warm, tactile surface that feels both structured and organic. 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.
