Andrew Liptak at Transfer Orbit interviewed me about my upcoming art book!

Your first book was Worlds Beyond Time: what will this new book do that you couldn't do with that one?

There’s a great Leo Steinberg quote: “All art is infested by other art.” My first book took a really close look at one slice of science fiction illustration (mostly book covers, mostly 1960s-’80s), so this new one is pulling back to look at the web of influences that went into that era and emerged from it.

I’m covering such a broad area that it’s going to be impossible to include everything, so I’m approaching it more like an art smorgasbord that jumps around between centuries and mediums.
