Dear Patrons (current, future, and not-on-your-life), we’ve been hard at work behind the scenes on our next big project. Sure, we like pretending we’re two wags who couldn’t give a hoot about our responsibilities, but that simply isn’t true. In fact, we’ve been sweating over a few things, and are determined to please you with at least three new books this year!
(Yes, we’re hopeless optimists who cannot accurately count the number of hours in a day. Sometimes it’s twenty-six, and sometimes it’s only nineteen. Anyway, we won’t give up. Tick tock tick tock…)
Today, we want to show you a cover idea that we had for our first project which will be a new poetry collection. We were all fired up over this idea, but when Tony put it together, we quickly realised that it wouldn’t be a good fit and discarded it unanimously.
However, you needn’t think that the image itself was pure crap. (Of course, we wouldn’t be offended if you did.) Take a look over at our Patreon page. Form your own opinion. And don’t worry, entry is free and the exit is too. If you’re curious to see what the cover for our new poetry collection WON’T be, then scratch that itch!
(Yup, this is another pathetic attempt to lure you to our Patreon page and panhandle for more pelf.)
PS: Please feel free to blame the title on Tati. She tried to explain to Tony about ‘Чудище обло, озорно, огромно, стозевно и лаяй’ but he was way too busy to listen to her. (Actually, he was just being a little dense, but let’s not tell anyone about that!)

Oh my! That picture on Patreon looked like it might have been a satanic orgasm. Dont get me wrong, there is a huge market for satanic orgasm art. It did make me want to buy the book just to see what happens. As soon as I find out the portal to Unbolted poetry is open, I’m diving in for the score. All the best!

Look forward to the book. You were right about that abandoned cover, in my opinion.

I agree. It just doesn’t feel ‘right’. Good news though… We may have come up with an alternative that feels like a better fit!

It’s kinda based on an image of Dante’s levels of hell that I saw somewhere online. In fact, I think Tati showed it to me. I had to try my own version of it. But you know what? I love your ‘tornado of eyes’ idea. That’s exactly what it looks like! 🙂

I can see why it failed. I always had a different mental image of that monster, more like a Змей Горыныч on steroids.
