A skeletal figure wearing an ornate wide-brimmed hat gazes outward surrounded by intricate decorative flourishes, flowers, and smaller skulls rendered in bold black linework against white. The composition radiates outward from the central skull with dense crosshatching and baroque ornamentation that creates a rhythmic, almost musical quality throughout the piece. 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.
