My alternate career

In a parallel universe, I am an art director for a 1960s science fiction publishing company. It's like Mad Men, just with geeks writing about giant sentient star vessels that have forgotten they're sentient and it's up to the society that has evolved inside them to figure this out. Or something. Maybe add a giant star vagina and you've got a Hugo award.

Anyway, you can try and design your own (awesome) sci-fi and fantasy books with this fun little trick:

1 – Go to “Behind the Name”. Hit “Generate a Name!” or click here

The first name you get is your author name.

2 – Go to “Fantasy Novel Title Generator”

or click here

This is the title of your book.

3 – Go to Photobucket and click on “surreal art” or click here

Add the two numbers of your age together (ex. 2 + 7 = 9). Go to that page of results. The fourth picture, no matter what it is, is your cover.

Above are some I've done. Looks like it's right from that sweet spot in the '60s where everyone was so jazzed about having sex more than once a year and taking LSD that didn't make you scared of pencils that art looked like someone painted with their nightmares. I don't know what that means, but it sounds about right. Try some yourself. If you send 'em to me here I might just put 'em up.
