A gray tabby cat with luminous yellow eyes peers down at a shimmering underwater scene filled with orange goldfish and aquatic plants, rendered in a charming vintage illustration style. Horizontal bands of warm tan, cool blues, and greens create a layered composition that merges the cat's world above with the fish's world below, evoking both curiosity and gentle humor. 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.
