A octopus spreads its tentacles across a warm beige ground, each arm rendered in bold strokes of coral, orange, pink, and deep green with contrasting circular suction cups. The creature's dark head sits atop the composition with a watchful eye, while the fluid, expressive linework and saturated hues create an energetic, almost playful marine 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.
