A navy octopus rendered in detailed line work dominates this composition, its eight tentacles curling and intertwining across the frame with intricate dotted texturing throughout. The monochromatic palette and naturalistic engraving style create a sense of scientific observation, while the organic, flowing arrangement of the creature's arms conveys both elegance and dynamic movement. 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.
