Coiled serpents in deep charcoal and gold wind diagonally across a periwinkle ground, their scales detailed with fine hatching and metallic accents. Four-pointed stars scattered throughout create a celestial rhythm, evoking mystical night skies and occult symbolism with confident, rhythmic repetition. 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.
