A coiled snake with fangs bared dominates this composition, rendered in traditional tattoo style with bold black outlines and saturated color. A blooming rose in shades of red, yellow, and orange nestles against the serpent's body on a rich blue ground, merging two classic tattoo motifs into a single striking image. 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.
