A sleek black panther sits upright among golden botanical elements, its body rendered in solid black with a bright golden eye that gleams against the dark form. Oversized palm fronds and delicate flowering plants in warm gold leaf surround the figure, creating a lush, decorative composition with scattered seeds or small florals at ground level, all set against a clean white background. 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.
