A monarch butterfly with distinctive orange and black wings spreads across a warm tangerine background, its delicate antennae and segmented body rendered with precise black line work and bold color blocking. The composition centers the insect in a moment of graceful repose, capturing both the graphic boldness of the monarch's markings and the serene stillness of a resting 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.
