A stylized emu stands in profile against a warm golden-orange ground, its long neck stretched upward with an alert gaze. The bird's body is rendered in layered geometric shapes using deep burgundy, sage green, cream, and warm tan tones, creating a sense of dimensional form through color blocking and angular planes. 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.
