A platypus floats upside down against a soft teal background, its cream-colored belly and distinctive bill facing forward while its patchwork tail curves overhead in geometric blocks of red, orange, yellow, navy, and olive. The composition uses bold, flat color shapes and simplified forms to capture the animal's peculiar charm with a playful, modern sensibility. 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.
