An emperor penguin stands in profile against a bright turquoise ground, constructed entirely from interlocking geometric planes in shades of charcoal, black, white, and gray. The angular, faceted approach creates a sense of crystalline structure and modern sophistication, while the bird's distinctive posture and coloring remain immediately recognizable beneath the abstract treatment. 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.
