A patterned moth with cream and dark brown wings spreads wide across a warm ochre ground, its body featuring the contemplative face of a person gazing downward. Delicate botanical elements, including slender stems with tiny blue flowers and soft green leaves, frame the composition in a layered collage that merges natural history illustration with portraiture. 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.
