Stylized mythical sea creatures and fantastical ocean monsters dance across a cream ground in a bold folk-art composition, rendered in jewel-toned blues, oranges, yellows, and greens with intricate patterning and decorative linework. Ships with scrolled prows, serpents, merfolk, and ornamental sea life interlock in a rhythmic, repeating arrangement that evokes both ancient maritime mythology and playful contemporary illustration. 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.
