Stylized koi fish glide through a dark navy pond adorned with white water lilies and orange lily pads, their scaled bodies rendered in bold strokes of orange, white, and turquoise. The densely layered composition creates a rhythmic pattern where fish and flora interweave across the surface, evoking the meditative calm of a Japanese garden through bold illustration and jewel-toned color. 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.
