Four Years Since Intercity Illusions
Intercity Illusions came out four years ago, collecting a variety of contemporary fantasy stories and poetry, a large number of which had been previously published. It’s fun to look back at that collection and recall all of the pieces that went into it.
That includes the cover art, which was created from a multitude of tiny pieces of paper to create the buildings in light and dark colors that comprise the cover. While I have designed several of my own covers, this might have been the one that most made me question how sensible it was to run with the ideas I’d concocted for cover art!
It’s also one of the first collections for which I posted about the inspirations behind the stories, which you can find under the “intercity illusions” tag. And if those pique your interest, you can read all of them in ebook or print formats!
