The left edge of the journal has several vibrant fabric tabs in shades of purple, orange, green, and blue. The right page has the word "EASELS" hand-written at the top. Below is a line drawing of several abstract structures, resembling easels, adorned with stylized symbols and shapes. Two simple human figures are sketched at the bottom right of this artwork. There are faint, incomplete lines under the drawing. A paper clip is visible at the top right corner.
