This post has been long in the making. I got my copy in the mail sometime around Labor Day, but I’m just now collecting myself to write a post about it.
Here are photos on the cover design that Mark Leicht created with my illustration for the cover as well as a spread from my art buddy Cole Closser whose comic I enjoyed in the anthology.
Mark used vellum as a dust cover to layer the bees. It’s pretty nifty in person.
Here’s what the cover looks like without the dust jacket (but more purple, my camera washed it out).
Detail of the inside dust jacket.
Cole Closser is another alumni of the Missouri State undergraduate program. He’ll be a big deal one day, just wait.
If you want to get a copy yourself, order online at the store (printed copy at $10) or download the pdf (at the low, low cost of $3)
