An emperor penguin stands upright against a soft gray ground, its distinctive black head and back contrasted by a warm golden-orange chest and creamy white belly. The figure is wrapped in a flowing, rainbow-striped blanket in shades of red, orange, green, and navy blue, rendered in a bold, geometric illustration style with clean shapes and minimal detail. 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.
