A school of silvery sardines swims horizontally across a bold field of cobalt blue and white vertical stripes, their bodies rendered in detailed line work that contrasts sharply against the graphic striped ground. The composition creates a dynamic sense of movement and order, evoking both the precision of maritime pattern-making and the fluid grace of fish in formation. 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.
