A hippo settles contentedly into a mint green bathtub as warm water cascades from an arched black showerhead above, rendered in soft naturalistic detail against a pale pink ground. The composition balances whimsy with restraint, pairing the unexpected domesticity of a hippo at bath time with muted pastels and clean lines that feel both playful and calming. 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.
