A skeletal skull faces forward, crowned with an elaborate feathered headdress rendered in bold black strokes against a weathered cream and gray ground. The composition blends anatomical precision with tribal imagery, creating a memento mori that merges indigenous symbolism with gothic sensibility through expressive line work and tonal contrast. 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.
