A deep blue octopus stretches its eight tentacles across a warm beige ground, each arm rendered with graceful curves and detailed suction cup markings in white. The composition captures the creature mid-motion with an elegant, almost art deco sensibility that balances naturalistic anatomy with stylized form. 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.
