A swallowtail butterfly rendered in dense linework — every vein of the wings traced out in fine detail — with two feathers flanking its body and ink drips trailing down from the wingtips. Above: a solid rectangular bar. Below: a speckled moon circle, with diagonal lines cutting through the composition. The result is part naturalist illustration, part abstract collage.

The tall vertical format works well on an upper arm, thigh, or spine. Large enough to hold its own on a shoulder blade or the back of a calf.
