A striped tiger spreads across a jewel-toned green ground, rendered in a flat, symmetrical pose with its body displayed full-frontal like a heraldic emblem. The creature's black and cream stripes create bold linear patterns, while its four paws splay outward and its twin horns curve upward in an almost mythical gesture, giving the composition an ornamental, coat-of-arms quality. 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.
