A golden fish with a pink-lined fin floats suspended among deep burgundy and black coral formations against a soft teal background. The composition balances organic, undulating coral shapes with the bright, still presence of the fish, creating a serene underwater scene rendered in a contemporary illustrative style with bold color blocking and subtle texture. 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.
