A human skull nestles among densely layered botanical elements, roses, and coiled serpents rendered in jewel tones against a dark, almost black background. The composition creates a memento mori tableau where delicate florals and sinuous snakes intertwine around the bone in an intricate, layered arrangement that balances death imagery with living natural forms. 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.
