Listen to me talk about the role of a designer

Wow, it's dusty here on the blog. I wanted to share a very belated shout out to the folks over at Publishing Trendsetter, who kindly asked to interview me about what a designer does in the "lifecyle of a book". You can watch me answer their questions here.

Hope you enjoy it!

Every week, a group of us get together to kill imaginary orcs. I thought we needed a logo.

Group Show WIP: Our Lady of Villains

The amazing Daniel Nayeri approached me a few months back to participate in a group show promoting his new book, "Straw House, Wood House, Brick House, Blow" (preorder here!). Of course I said yes and was eager to get my hands on the manuscript.

It did NOT disappoint. I was taken in by all the stories, told in different genres, but especially the story I refer to as "the nano machines one". While reading I was struck by a passage describing "Our Lady of Villains". She was described as having a blonde bob, crinkly eyes, holding her arms out in benediction with one hand grasping a glue gun and the other hand holding garden gloves. I spent a good 10 minutes writing myself notes on her appearance when finally it struck me who he was making a parody of.

Take a look at my work in progress and see if you can guess who OLOV is. I'll give you a hint. She was imprisoned once and according to the story, 'every saint must suffer'.
