Unable to contain my excitement I just had to share with you
all the preliminary sketch of the book cover for the new edition of my werewolf
story. Not only has it been rewritten, I have lengthened it and given it a new
title. Originally titled Bipedal, it is now titled “The Magic of Moon Light”.
Artist Michael Calandra is the genius responsible for this magnificent work of
art. This is a work in progress; I am so looking forward to seeing the finished
picture.
Private Parts: The Early Works of Ian Ayres [Special Extended Version] [Paperback] Ian Ayres (Author) Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. Bringing together the best poems from Ayres's early verse (much of it written in houses of ill fame) to his erotic and darkly imaginative later pieces, this stunning collection also features his previously unpublished experiences with luminary legends such as Tennessee Williams, Allen Ginsberg, Yoko Ono, Edmund White and Quentin Crisp. More than a book, PRIVATE PARTS is an experience of teen angst, hangovers for breakfast and raw enlightenment tripping over that cliff's edge in the rye. It would not exist if Ayres were not a survivor. Ayres's crusty accounts of a boy's life on the wild side explores the extreme boundaries of human behavior and amorality, offering a journey through his life from his early years in houses of ill repute to his life in Paris today.

Wow. I imagine this will look stunning once finished. I bet you have a grin from ear to ear. I love the feeling after seeing cover art after months of slogging at the book :)
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased with the sketch! I just keep looking at the picture! Pretty soon I will have a smile frozen on my face for all eternity!
