Stylized sardines and anchovies alternate across horizontal stripes in coral, cream, teal, and sage, each fish rendered in clean lines with bright eyes and delicate details. Lemon slices and sprigs of herbs float between the bands, creating a playful, organized composition that feels both retro and contemporary. 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.
