A black cat stands in profile against a muted landscape, its tail curved upward in a graceful arc, while a scorpion appears near its paws in this earthy, hand-drawn illustration. The piece is framed with tan borders and labeled "m." at the top and "SCORPIO" at the bottom in bold capitals, rendered in a vintage woodcut or linocut style with warm ochre and sage tones. 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.
