@mjd the illustrator (Vladimir) is SO good, often he puts in fun little touches that even I miss until much later

@b0rk @mjd out of curiosity, did you only "outsource" the cover or do you have all your drawings done by (other) professionals? Can you share details of Vladimir, is he available for other projects too? I like your work and this cover is also amazing.

@svenk @mjd yeah I draw everything except the cover (though often with a lot of help from Marie https://marieflanagan.com/)
