Introducing the cover for my Three Drops Press collection, This Is The Carousel Your Mother Warned You About. I love the artwork, of course, with my now longtime collaborator Jane Burn, but the black bars make it look like a Penguin Classic. Kate Garrett said the idea was to frame Jane’s wonderful cover, because the book is a collection of paintings with me gawping at them and saying what I see. I’d like to thank you them both for working with me again, giving their time and effort so freely. I love you both.
