A navy blue dodo bird strikes a proud, geometric pose against an ornate background of teal and mint green leafy patterns, its body rendered in bold, simplified forms with decorative white stripe details. The composition radiates a sense of playful elegance, blending Arts and Crafts sensibility with whimsical character in a balanced, symmetrical arrangement. 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.
