Basalt in Blue Stitches
A broad, tilted basalt column drawn with flat charcoal marker fills and pale stitched contours on a warm ivory ground.
Small 480×640, Medium 900×1200
Finished editorial marker illustration, portrait 3:4, textile-inspired stitched line image. One oversized basalt column occupies the lower-right two-thirds, leaning slightly left, with a comically broad shoulder, narrow foot and uneven broken top. Its recognizable dark volcanic-rock silhouette has three large angular faces, rendered in flat charcoal, slate and muted blue marker fills. Loose pale running-stitch dashes outline the rock and two major facet boundaries; chunky hand-drawn marks, not intricate embroidery. A few widely spaced blunt marks suggest rough stone. Cool dusty-blue light touches the upper-left edge; one simple lavender shadow grounds the base. Warm ivory background with ample empty space above and to the left. Expressive asymmetric proportions, strong thumbnail readability, deliberately simple shapes and minimal detail. No people, scenery, diagrams, text, logos or watermarks.
