Sick Alternative Cover Art Concept for The Gorelets Omnibus!

I just shared this photo, "Dismembered Handheld Computing," over on my flickr gallery... it's one of the original cover concepts I shared with the publisher during the production stages of my latest book, The Gorelets Omnibus. Head on over to flickr to read more about the backstory, if you're not already running for the bathroom with a hand clamped over your mouth... The art is sort of an inside joke about the 'gorelets' poetry. Visit gorelets.com to learn more about this project and my weird work.

The Gorelets Omnibus for Kindle and More on Amazon.com

You can now get the Gorelets Omnibus as an e-book for the Kindle along with all the other editions, from amazon.com. I think this is very cool, because gorelets -- which, a decade ago, were originally a series of poems that were written for PDAs, the first handheld e-readers -- are now available in ebook format for your cell phone (if you have the Kindle app).

More #SHUWPF Residency Photos
