A bright red lobster with fully spread claws dominates the center of this composition, rendered in a bold, simplified mid-century style against a soft blue-green background. White highlights and dotted textures bring dimension to the crustacean's segmented body and legs, while a checkered border in muted teal and cream frames the entire image with a retro, homespun charm. 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.
