A wide-eyed axolotl grins with open-mouthed charm, its feathered gills and body rendered in watercolor washes of coral, pink, gold, and turquoise that bleed and blend across cream paper. Playful ink splatters and paint drips in rainbow hues radiate outward from the creature, creating an energetic explosion of color that frames this cheerful amphibian in expressive, spontaneous strokes. 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.
