A bald eagle with an orange beak perches atop a boldly striped black shield adorned with emerald leaves and twin red roses with yellow centers. The composition balances traditional American tattoo iconography with warm earth tones, rendered in bold black outlines against a cream background with saturated jewel and rust accents. 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.
