A white axolotl floats against a deep black background, its feathered gills splayed wide and its small eyes gazing forward with an almost otherworldly presence. Scattered pale orbs surround the creature like distant stars or bubbles, creating a sense of weightlessness and mystery in this high-contrast composition. 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.
