A sinuous black serpent coils gracefully across a muted sage ground, its body adorned with delicate cream and pale pink florals that soften its predatory form. The illustration balances botanical elegance with graphic boldness, creating a composition that feels both natural and deliberately stylized. 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.
