  6. Working on cover art for The Silent Bell, the first in my cozy Arthurian mystery series. The image centers on a huge bronze bell suspended above a well, with Oxford visible in the background. The aesthetic I want is woodcut meets Tarot card, something that feels old and symbolic rather than photographic.

    There are alchemical symbols in the four corners that point toward a major subplot.

  17. The latest addition to the Chamber Of Horrors - Blood, Sweat & Tears, 'Child Is Father To The Man' (1968). A decent debut album from the UK blues-rockers, but you have to admit that there's something creepy about that cover shot.
