A fake fossil.
I put the skills I acquired in Art School 101 to use, finally, with a counterfeit artifact intended for Alex Leslie‘s first collection of short stories. After carving out the negative space around the title (the backwards title) into a piece of lino, I pressed it into a slab of clay to create a fossil-like impression. Then, my petrified art piece was rejected, and my prowess as a sculptor questioned.
The final cover is a more elegant, haunting solution for Leslie’s West Coast themed lit.
