Illustrated mermaids with varied skin tones and hair colors swim among coral, seaweed, and jellyfish across a soft cream ground, their teal tails and peaceful expressions creating a whimsical underwater scene. The composition combines playful character variety with organic botanical elements in muted greens and blush pinks, rendered in a gentle, contemporary illustrative style. 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.
