A sinuous dark snake coils through a composition of bright yellow lemons and delicate blue botanical leaves scattered across a warm peach and cream ground. The illustration layers flat shapes and decorative patterns with a playful, folkloric sensibility, creating a whimsical tension between the serpent's scaled form and the organic abundance of fruit and foliage. 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.
