A colossal red octopus with bulging eyes and curling tentacles towers over a bustling mid-century city street, its massive form dwarfing yellow taxi cabs and art deco buildings below. Rendered in bold comic book illustration style with a bright yellow sun bursting behind the creature's head, the scene captures the campy energy of vintage monster movie posters and pulp fiction cover art. 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.
