Arriving in the post today was Steps of Descent<\/em><\/a>, the new CD from American band Cyaegha<\/a> featuring my design and illustration. The name Cy\u00e4egha (sic) belongs originally to a Cthulhu Mythos entity invented by Eddie C Bertin, author of The Whispering Horror<\/em>, my favourite story from the Pan Book of Horror<\/em> anthologies of the Seventies. The cover illustration is based on a scene from HP Lovecraft’s The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath<\/em><\/a> and the cover and inner pages feature some photographic material from one of my Paris trips. I was very pleased with the way this turned out and I believe the band are too. Steps of Descent<\/em> is officially released by Canonical Hours<\/a> on the 8th of August.<\/p>\n

Another recent piece of work is this Steampunk design suggested by writer Jeff VanderMeer<\/a> who wanted a suitable layout for his semi-serious Steampunk formula. Jeff and wife Ann edited the recent Steampunk anthology<\/a> from Tachyon so he knows whereof he speaks. This was going to be a T-shirt design but it seems now it may have a different outlet; more about that if and when it happens. The growing popularity of Steampunk as a sub-culture has raised some hackles recently<\/a> but I like it even though I’ve not read many of the latest literary contributions. Anything which puts more brass, dirigibles and florid Victoriana into the world gets my vote.<\/p>\n
