A Psychochronography in Europe

Note: This post has almost nothing to do with Europe.  Bonus points if you can spot why it's called that.

Here we are again, with another Philip Sandifer cover*.  I can't claim to have done the artwork on this one (for a change), rather I did the design, but the actual art was by Mr. William Blake, a gentleman who's been dead for just shy of 200 years.  Pretty sure the copyright on it has expired then, (fortunately, because I didn't pay for it).

This cover is for Neoreaction A Basilisk: Essays On and Around the Alt Right, which as you may have surmised, is not a book about Doctor Who.  This one is a standalone, and presumably features some strong words and takedowns of the Alt-Right.  I don't know for sure, as I haven't read it yet, but I think it's a safe bet.  If you're interested in checking it out, you can find links to various ways to purchase it on his launch post, over here.

Sol Right

No, it's not your imagination, I've returned to make a post.  It's like Christmas in December!  No excuses, and if I'm honest posts are generally going to be few and far apart for a while longer yet (though I'm hoping to do another before the New Year - we'll see how that goes).  That said, I haven't been doing much in the way of art either, so it's not like I have much to post.  Eventually I'll get to explaining why, but it's going to be a while yet before I can.

OK, so this post is tangential to the Philip Sandifer cover posts, because Phil introduced me to Alex, of the group Seeming.  I have to admit I'd never previously heard of them, but after looking them up they're really good.  Not entirely to my taste, if I'm honest, but I enjoyed what I was listening to well enough, which is impressive for me as I'm a right stick in the mud when it comes to music.

So I did an Album cover!  Well, that's not true; I did a small part of an album cover that was laid out by somebody else - but there is an album, called SOL, and my work is on the cover (huzzah!).  It's a good album too - I'll put how you can buy ot at the bottom of this post.
