A cheerful badger sits front-facing with its distinctive black-and-white striped head held upright, wearing wings of interlocking chartreuse scales that spread wide like a butterfly or moth. The composition centers the creature against a soft gray-beige ground, rendered in a clean, geometric illustration style that balances whimsy with calm restraint. 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.
