A largemouth bass erupts from the water in a dynamic leap, its mouth open around a fishing hook as a angler in a boat holds the line taut above. Rendered in expressive black ink line work with energetic splashes and hatching, the composition captures the explosive moment of a catch against a clean white ground. 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.
