A illustration of an open sardine tin features two fish with elongated bodies in shades of navy and cream, arranged symmetrically with their tails meeting at the center to form a coral-pink heart shape. The composition uses bold outlines and a retro color palette of coral, turquoise, mustard yellow, and sage green, with playful typography reading "SARDINES salty but sweet" and wavy water motifs evoking a whimsical, nostalgic canned-goods aesthetic. 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.
