Rock art

I have spent the weekend with the Dark Mountain crew in East Anglia, what a great bunch of people and what a meaningful project. I have written once and had visual art in issues three times. This time I was commissioned to make the cover. I got my copies yesterday, and am really happy with how it looks. There'll be a piece on the DM blog about it soon, and on my art website, but here's a sneak preview.

The work was made at a very large scale, on rocks in Portland, with Paleolithic materials, David lent me his camera, and this is a detail from one of three works. I have never drawn anything like it, before two days previously, when I dreamed these characters, and the one on the back cover, which I will show another time. It rained the next days after the work was made, they'll be entirely gone by now. More about all this when their new website launches.
