A humpback whale glides upward through deep blue water, its massive body rendered in soft grays and whites with delicate detail work capturing the texture of its skin and long pectoral fins. Iridescent bubbles and light scatter across a gradient background that shifts from cool blues to purples and pinks, creating a sense of movement toward the surface and an almost dreamlike underwater atmosphere. 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.
