A stylized fish with flowing, flame-like fins swims through a composition dominated by deep red and orange hues, its black body outlined in gold against a circular crimson backdrop. Ornamental blue clouds billow in the dark upper reaches while serpentine green and red patterns writhe across the lower portion, creating a sense of movement and mythical energy through layered, decorative linework. 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.
