The Midday Paper Shuffle
A long-bodied worker sorts blank sheets at a broad desk with two full trays, a squat stool and a small climbing vine.

Finished editorial illustration, portrait 1:2. Opaque tempera poster-paint colour blocks with expressive hand-drawn marker contours on warm cream paper. One office worker with an unusually elongated curved torso, tiny head, minimal face and simple hands sits on a squat ochre stool, leaning forward to transfer one blank sheet between two full paper trays on a comically broad teal desk. Three-quarter side view; the curved figure and desktop form one clear focal group in the lower two-thirds, with generous empty space above. A single sparse vine curls around a desk leg, quietly suggesting a rewilded future workplace. A pale butter-yellow angular patch crosses the desktop like redirected midday sunlight. Coral clothing, teal furniture, ochre accents, dark plum outlines. Broad imperfect brush edges, flat fills, only a few large shapes, legible at thumbnail size. No intricate hatching, extra people, text, logos or watermarks.
