Back Cover Art


Here's the back cover for the upcoming issue of NFT. It's a new idea that we're going to try out every few issues or so, instead of just having an ad on the back of the book. Oooh, we're so arty, yes yes. Hopefully we'll have a vast array of artists with different styles all over this thing before next summer, that would be nice.
This was done by a young woman named Larissa, she endured much coffee enduced pestering and drunken phone calls on late nights (all by me) and still pulled off a kickin piece of work, you should see the original, in color no less. Unfortunately I only have the non color, because I'm not smart enough to save it in color before changing it, damn photoshop...
8 days until the official release of issue 6.
And I'm not even close to being ready, typical. I'll probably have to quit drinking and watching cartoons until I get up to speed, maybe.
More later after I contemplate this theory...

Updates of a sort...




Been strangely busy since last post. I'm printing the latest issue of Needles for Teeth and it's beginning to take up time, and with giving out advance copies to the very special people, spending as much time as possible at the pub and trying to write, and dealing with the evil, soul sucking, bloodletting day job, I haven't found much time to get to this damn blogger thing. Not too much new to declare. Been too busy to think beyond the box. Here's a shot of the cover for NFT vol 1 Issue 6. The cover is by Brooke Howell. She's a great visual artist from Denver, check out her site, buy some art and get hip with the program.
More after I spend some time with a Japanese girl with tiny feet who is going to walk on my back George Jefferson style while a Hungarian dancer feeds me strawberries and cream while singing Italian opera.
At least that's what I think I'm paying for, the operator seemed kind of vague on the subject...
