One of the best things about the small press is the community we can find there — often times a wide-reaching and vast array of talents and ideas. Our friends over at Alternating Current Press have worked diligently over the years to build up and support writers of all stripes, giving home and voice to an entire ambitious stable of talent. So when they come knocking, I always do my level-best to deliver. Above are two covers: the first, Jennifer Roche’s 20 is a sparkling and prescient collection of erasure poems using Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea as source material. I was lucky enough to do the interior art — pen & ink + watercolor quadtychs of seafaring imagery that, like the book itself, leaves behind only hints of the larger original. The second cover, as you’ll see, was one I got to blurb. Larry Beckett’s Wyatt Earp is an astonishing accomplishment that was exhaustive in its historical truth and honed down to an exquisite, razor-sharp vision as rich and full-blooded as any film. Both are worth a look, and if you’re headed to AWP, can be found at the Alternating Current table or any events they’ll be part of.
Then there’s this:
