Five striped fish with dark navy bodies and bright red fins swim vertically down a warm cream background, their bodies rendered in precise linear marks that suggest both scientific illustration and graphic boldness. The composition stacks the fish in a tight, rhythmic arrangement that creates a sense of movement and order simultaneously, rendered with the clean lines and restrained palette of traditional woodcut or linocut printmaking. 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.
