A lean, long-bodied dog stands in profile with its tail raised and fanned out like a peacock's plumage, rendered in warm brown line work against a pale cream ground. The illustration captures a moment of pure joy through the exaggerated, almost impossible arc of that tail, while the dog's simple facial features and stick-like legs convey whimsical contentment. 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.
