A repeating pattern of manatees rendered in detailed line work fills a soft teal ground, each creature shown from slightly different angles as they drift and turn across the composition. The monochromatic teal palette and naturalistic etching style create a calm, meditative rhythm that celebrates these gentle marine mammals with both scientific precision and gentle whimsy. 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.
