Under the Clip
A huge rust-orange binder clip compresses a fan of blank office papers in a simple, asymmetric marker illustration.
Small 640×427, Medium 1200×800
Finished editorial ink-and-marker illustration, 3:2 landscape. On the right half of a warm cream background, one absurdly oversized rust-orange binder clip grips a thick bundle of blank ivory office papers. The papers pinch sharply beneath its jaws and flare outward in a broad, uneven fan, a playful physical metaphor for work pressure. Exaggerate the clip's two tall loop handles and squat heavy body; keep the paper bundle to a few bold overlapping shapes with gently buckled edges. Three-quarter view, loose confident black ink contours, broad flat marker fills, slight handmade wobble. A simple amber patch and short plum shadow suggest warm practical lamplight. Clear silhouette at thumbnail size, generous uninterrupted breathing room on the left. No people, intricate hatching, diagrams or extra props. No text, logos or watermarks.
