Well, hello. I’m emerging briefly from the slow-moving apocalypse of the last few years. (I closed off my last post with “Farewell, 2019, you messed-up monster of a year,” ha-ha-ha!) One of the pursuits I passed the time with is editing Stay Strange Publishing‘s upcoming third book, FIFTYONEFIFTY.

The author of that novel is Patrick Loveland (who wrote SSP’s first book, the short-story collection Too Many Eyes). Patrick not only writes stories showcasing multi-versal excursions and incursions, cosmically wrong monsters, and blood-boiling action, he creates artwork with the same themes. He shares these images across the Internet.

I find that his Instagram page is a great place to see this work, with the social-media platform’s visual focus lining it all up for the best kind of doom scroll.
