A plump strawberry peacock cichlid swims across a soft white ground, its rounded body rendered in hot pink with teal and turquoise fins detailed in rhythmic stripes. Dark spots and circular markings dot its body while a single white eye and open mouth give the fish a cheerful, animated expression. 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.
