Client: Slippery Rock University
For over a year now I’ve been toying with the idea of doing more illustrative work to keep things interesting for myself. As a person I’m a bit restless and need more and different creative diversions to satisfy my mental wanderlust. My friend Mark O’Connor—an English professor over at Slippery Rock University and adviser to their quarterly literary journal SLAB—asked me if I’d like to do one of their covers. Opportunities like this are good times for experimentation. I wanted something obtuse and enigmatic concerning the power of writing, and the cover came to me in segments, the idea of the book tower eventually becoming the focal point.
