A sinuous serpent coils vertically down the composition, its scales rendered with intricate crosshatching and organic detail in black ink against a white ground. Crescent moons and scattered stars frame the snake, creating a mystical alchemical symbol that feels both ancient and otherworldly. 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.
