A cheerful dark blue octopus wearing a white sailor's cap steers a ship's wheel while surrounded by smaller figures in yellow and black, all set against a soft turquoise background. The composition balances playful maritime imagery with a folk-art illustration style, creating a whimsical scene that celebrates nautical adventure and teamwork. 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.
