A dense composition of intricately detailed sea anemones and marine organisms fills the dark ground, their tentacles rendered in warm golds, corals, and pale yellows against deep browns and blacks. The ornate, scientific illustration style combines naturalistic observation with decorative richness, creating a sense of wonder at the alien beauty of deep-sea life. 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.
