Blue insects and crustaceans scatter across a cream ground in an orderly, repeating pattern, rendered in varying shades of cobalt and periwinkle ink. Beetles, crabs, and shells form a classical, almost chinoiserie-inspired composition that feels both scientific and decorative, with each creature depicted in precise detail against the neutral background. 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.
