Artwork? From Kelza? What the Hell?!

I know! What is this world coming to? I've finally posted a drawing! Mind you, it's a very rough drawing; you could call it an embryonic version of the book cover for 'The Timeshare Presentation of Death', before I decided to change the title.

Because I'm quite happy with the drawing, I've scanned it in to take bits (namely the tower block and phone box) for use on the actual cover. Anyway, here it is...



Apologies for the messiness. It was half finished. The idea was to have two tower blocks in a line, with a phone box between them. The two tower blocks on either side would work to make the phone box look gigantic. If you look carefully, you can see guidelines that were for the second tower block, and some scribbling around the bottom of the page because I was struggling for ideas to fill that particular area.

Since I'm making a cover that's for both 'Arcane Mathematics' and 'The Timeshare Presentation of Death', I'm going to design a cover that'll incorporate themes from both books.

Thank you very much :D The finished result (which I'm trying to upload - but my Internet doesn't seem to be letting me) looks much better, surprisingly :P

Is it weird to say that I found it very British-looking? Beside the telephone box, of course. The font and the face on the teacup just remind of Yellow Submarine.

I like it, though!

It got rained on :( I decided to take it to the TGIO party and, lo and behold, it was piddling it down. And the ink I used is water-based, so it RAN.

Glad you like it, though :D I decided not to use the full thing in the end, but all the effort put into drawing the phone box and tower block (god, they took me ages!) didn't go to waste.
