A brown platypus gazes forward with a gentle expression, its distinctive bill prominent and centered against a soft cream-colored face and body. The figure sits against a muted teal background, rendered in a clean, geometric illustration style with coral-orange circular accents for ears that lend warmth and personality to this quietly charming portrait. 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.
