is about a world of infinite possibilities. For the covers, Dave and wanted to create as manyversions as possible, so every time the book is reprinted, it would be totally new. I was asked by McSweeney’s to create a batch of twelve covers (so far). Co-art-directed with Dave Eggers*, with illustrations by Karen O, Tucker Nichols, Kris Lang, Eric Heiman, myself and more. *And support from Sunra Thompson and everyone at McSweeney’s. In addition to designs, I created illustrations for the purple eyeballs cover, the weird worm cover, and the desert sunset.
