I worked with artist Sean Cox on this cover. I knew I had to work with Sean when I saw his collection of impressionistic film posters, a project he did largely for fun. I highly recommend check out his website at http://clockworkrevolution.com/ (click on the face to enter the site). I knew I wanted something that implied the isolation of the story, it's science fiction theme, and the larger scale of the setting. What I told Sean originally was "Children of Men meets Motorcycle Diaries" though I don't think it was the most apt description. Sean came up with a picture very similar to this one making excellent use of the negative space in the design to both imply isolation and convey a technical sophistication appropriate to the work. We worked together to fine tune the piece and I could not be happier with it.
COMING HOME will be released late October with a release party at the Alberta Street Public House. Additional reading dates will be forthcoming but I have already been booked again at Rain or Shine on Thursday December 20th. Until then, keep an eye on this space for more on COMING HOME
