Tales of Pain and Wonder by Caitlin R. Kiernan was book that I illustrated back in 2000 after Cait and I crossed paths at World Horror Con in Atlanta, Georgia. I had just finished working on Imajica the customizable card game and welcomed the opportunity to get into another project that would require a sustained focus. I still really like these illustrations. I consciously tried to make each one of them unique and powerful images that functioned on their own or as a grouping. My favourite is Anamorphosis but a close second is Tears Seven Times Salt. A couple of images from the book are missing from here. When I can dig them up I'll add them in.
