Navy blue mythical sea creatures, serpents, and sailing vessels dance across a cream linen ground in an intricate, repeating pattern reminiscent of classical toile de Jouy textiles. The composition layers whimsical nautical imagery with curling tentacles and ornate ships, rendered in delicate line work that creates a sense of movement and historical narrative across the entire surface. 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.
