Feathertale Review



Here are the front and back covers for the 4th edition Feathertale Review magazine scheduled to come out later this month. The theme for this issue was surviving in a time of uncertainty. Both these images reference two stories that appear inside the magazine. One is about a humorist writer, Spalding Gray who ironically commits suicide by jumping off the Staten Island ferry. The other is about a Georgian cosmonaut who is sent on mission into outer space with no means of returining back to earth. Both stories although dealing with the concept of death do try and put a positive spin on the whole motif and give the reader a sense of hope. The art director, Lee wanted me to do the same with my images, call it dark humor if you will. If you're unable to attend the Feathertale launch party at the end of the month the magazine will be sold at Chapters till the end January, make sure to check it out, this publication features some great work from a variety of very talented illustrators and writers.
