A whale shark swims vertically upward against a soft gray background, its dark blue-black body covered entirely in the species' characteristic white spotted pattern. The composition is spare and centered, capturing the creature's graceful form with scientific precision while maintaining an almost meditative sense of quiet movement through space. 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.
