A plump, rounded sea slug rendered in vivid jewel tones floats against a soft lavender ground, its deep blue body decorated with golden yellow spots and coral pink fins. The creature's closed eye and gentle curve convey a serene, almost meditative quality, achieved through soft gradients and dimensional shading that give the form sculptural presence. 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.
