A curious emu stands in profile against a soft beige ground, its lean neck stretched upward with an inquisitive expression and its body covered in olive green feathers rendered with fine crosshatching detail. The composition balances geometric simplicity with textural richness, creating a gentle, almost humorous character study in a muted, earthy color palette. 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.
