A tangled forest scene erupts with coiled serpents, delicate pink flowers, and skeletal birds rendered in ornate linework against a deep black ground. Gold and copper tendrils weave through the composition alongside touches of red and cream, creating an intricate natural tableau where beauty and menace exist in constant tension. 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.
