A scarlet dragon with flowing whiskers and an open mouth lunges through churning waves rendered in deep navy and cream, its scaled body undulating across the composition. The brushwork and color blocking recall classical East Asian woodblock prints, creating a dynamic scene where the dragon appears almost alive within the turbulent waters that frame it. 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.
