He stated: “Nick’s cover is fabulous! I love his design skills, and it’s especially impressive that this was done with limited tools in a brief time period. Wow! Were PUNKTOWN to be rereleased (again!) or released in a translated edition with this cover, I’d be more than pleased. It gets across the collection’s blend of SF, horror, surrealism, erotica, etc.” (on 5/9/06 @ 4:22 pm).   </p>http://site.hornoir.com/post/31555223http://site.hornoir.com/post/31555223Tue, 09 May 2006 00:00:00 -0400<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/UceLE0vqL88xbwgefbZDHUJd_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Status: Fan Design [not for publication]</p><p>Title: Mostrocity</p><p>Author: <a href="http://www.jeffreyethomas.com/" target="_blank" title="Jeffrey Thomas">Jeffrey Thomas</a></p><p>Imagery: Fritz Lang’s Metropolis</p><p>Design Program: Microsoft Word (part of the “<a href="http://site.hornoir.com/post/32880992" title="It's the Man, Not the Machine">It’s the Man, Not the Machine</a>” series).</p>http://site.hornoir.com/post/32883179http://site.hornoir.com/post/32883179Mon, 08 May 2006 00:00:00 -0400There’s this theory among the newest breed of graphic designers: that the tools make the...http://site.hornoir.com/post/32880992http://site.hornoir.com/post/32880992Sun, 07 May 2006 00:00:00 -0400
