A plump puffer fish with spiky protrusions floats against a deep blue gradient ocean backdrop, its round body rendered in soft lavender and cream tones with a dark burgundy head crowned by delicate pink fins. Large, luminous yellow eyes and a small downturned mouth give the creature an endearingly melancholic expression, while scattered bubbles and particles suggest the quiet depths of an underwater world. 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.
