A jewel-toned octopus sprawls across a dark teal background, its body rendered in cream and turquoise with golden-yellow suction cups dotting the tentacles in deliberate rows. Ornamental patterns and fine linework create an art deco sensibility, blending naturalistic marine anatomy with decorative luxury and rich jewel-tone foliage that frames the creature. 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.
