Art Direction: Long ago an old wise man gave me an ancient remedy to find my inner soul. I looked into a mirror and my face was elongated, like in one of those wacky mirrors at a funfair. I couldn’t help but notice the four screws of enlightenment, it made me cry. Turned out I’d just taken LSD, but what the hell, it would make an awesome cover!

Collette’s Art Direction: I envision floating elderly embryos, spaceships, and armed jungle animals before a crimson sky! Hmm… maybe we should put that in a small box on the cover, because now that I say it out loud, it sounds kind of crazy.

Greengerg Comments: Forge the Season of the Witch, it’s the Season of the Bull according to the back cover, and nothing says demonic violence like a fat guy with cow horns slowly being turned into a Ravensburger jigsaw puzzle.

Max Bathroom Art Direction: “I want this book to look well underground. Do we have any freelance artists who were so terrible that they couldn’t even get into the UAI?”
