Two stylized salamanders face each other across a warm beige ground, their bodies rendered in bold strokes of coral pink and cobalt blue with contrasting striped patterns and delicate black details. The composition balances playful figuration with graphic simplicity, creating a sense of gentle interaction between the creatures in this contemporary illustration. 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.
