A stylized skull rendered in deep forest green overflows with a lush garden of wildflowers, succulents, and botanical elements in warm yellows, oranges, and soft blues against a cream background. The illustration merges the memento mori tradition with whimsical folk-art florals, creating a composition that celebrates life and growth through the symbol of mortality. 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.
