Two meerkats stand upright side by side against a soft cream background, their bodies rendered in warm tan with striking coral-red striped legs and dark paws. The illustration captures them in alert poses with gentle expressions, creating a charming and playful mood through simplified forms and a restrained 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.
