A young elephant faces forward with its trunk raised, rendered in detailed graphite tones against a clean white ground. A bright red Santa hat sits jauntily atop its head, its white fur trim providing cheerful contrast to the monochromatic portrait. 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.
