A dense flock of birds in jewel tones and black silhouettes perches and flies across a golden yellow ground, their forms interlocking with gnarled branches and delicate foliage in a tightly woven composition. The layered illustration creates a sense of movement and visual complexity, with warm ochres and cool blues suggesting both natural abundance and underlying tension within the forest canopy. 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.
