Brown horseshoe crabs are arranged in a regular grid across a field of ornate blue and white botanical flourishes, creating a symmetrical repeating pattern. The composition balances the warm earthiness of the crustaceans with the cool elegance of the scrolling foliage, rendered in a decorative style reminiscent of traditional tile work. 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.
