A pink axolotl with a cheerful smile floats amid swirling white clouds against a soft sage green background, its feathered gills and limbs rendered in jewel tones of teal, orange, and gold. The creature clutches a glowing magic pearl in warm coral and yellow hues, captured in a playful illustration style that radiates childlike wonder and gentle whimsy. 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.
