Blue crabs and nautical elements scatter across a soft white ground in a symmetrical, repeating pattern inspired by classic coastal pottery and chinoiserie artwork. Anchors, seaweed, small fish, and decorative flourishes fill the spaces between the crabs, creating an ornamental composition that feels both whimsical and timeless. 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.
