This is the cover for Mary Timony's The Golden Dove album. While I don't like Timony's voice or music, I have a fascination for masks and cats. This is black and white because I thought the mask was too gaudy in the color version. In black and white the mask is also emphasized.



I had a love/hate relationship with Yu-Gi-Oh!. When it was good, it played on themes of duality I enjoy, and the card decks used by the character generally expressed aspects of their personalities. This is Yugi with the Pharoah, his possessing spirit. They're two different personalities.

I also tend to see more than one side of situations, which can be a pain in the ass. I can use this icon then.



This is the full picture of "Number 16." When I first saw it in a collection of science fiction and fantasy art I was amazed by how it had a whole backstory suggested in it. I've had headaches all my life, so an image of what was probably a corpse with a hook through the back of its head spoke to me as an icon. Of course, it's gained an extra meaning recently.

kiwi fruit: I just think they're really tasty! Sweet fruit plus tart crunchy seeds make for a taste sensation

Pirate Corp$!: An old comic book series by Evan Dorkin that started as a sci-fi heist thing and gradually turned into future slice-of-life stories and eventually changed its name to Hectic Planet and became less interesting before it stopped appearing entirely. It was full of humor, violence, and funky looking little aliens in the crowd scenes. My Andromeda gen story "Buyer Beware" is an homage to Pirate Corp$! #3, in which Halby and Blue are trapped in a mile-long supermarket, dealing with security check, shopping carts with broken nav systems, creepy adbots, cute squatter chicks who are nonetheless not interested in them, and a dead homeless guy in a freezer case in the frozen aisle.

Fabergé eggs: I love the miniature scenes and detail a real artist can put inside these eggs.

That mask is so very much better in b/w.

I saw the picture in The Village Voice in black and white, so I was surprised by how bad the mask looked in color on the album cover itself.
