A striped tiger with bared fangs prowls across a soft mint ground, its body rendered in bold orange and black with a dynamic, slightly contorted posture that conveys both power and playfulness. The illustration employs flat, graphic shapes and clean lines, creating a modern, graphic artwork sensibility that balances natural wildness with decorative simplicity. 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.
