An orange octopus with hypnotic purple-ringed eyes floats against a deep blue background, its tentacles radiating outward in a mesmerizing mandala pattern of concentric circles and dots. The geometric precision of the suction cups contrasts with the creature's organic form, creating a rhythmic, almost trance-like composition that blurs the line between scientific illustration and meditative abstraction. 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.
