A surfer sits in dark water facing an approaching wave, rendered in black and white photography against a sky of pale gray. The lower third of the composition explodes in a vivid orange-red gradient that floods the frame like fire meeting sea, creating a striking tension between the cool restraint above and the thermal intensity below. 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.
