This is the background art for the cover. Before I share the full cover, I wanted to give a peak at what artist Sean Bodley has done for the background.
You can find more of his work at https://seanbodley.com/ and support him at patreon.com/seanbodley .

I like it. Not sure I’d like living in that city, but it certainly triggers thoughts and makes you feel there.
Why would you not livijg in that city? It seems awesome! A bit more green, plants/trees, and it would be awesome.
We have abolished physical labor yet I see several people in that picture pedaling to transport a small volume of things, Shenzhen style 20 years ago. I see what looks like small shops: labor inefficient, and inefficient for consumers too. Above ground piping. These are sign of overall poverty IMO.
Oof, I don’t think that’s his best work
That’s kind of a crappy thing to say.
You could just say, “I really like his work.”
To me it seems like not so harsh ciritisism, perfectly okay.
My complaint isn’t that it’s harsh: it’s that it’s non constructive.
Good criticism offers encouragement to improve something. Just saying something is disappointing to you is really just discouraging.
I do like his work, but this one seems almost like it wasn’t finished or something, the details look odd and it just isn’t great compared
It’s actually not complete: it’s the background. The full image will debut in a day or so, I just wanted to build anticipation.
But that’s beside the point. The point is that saying you don’t like a piece of art is non-constructive criticism. I think it’s discouraging and unkind to artists to offer criticism that isn’t in some way constructive.
Since when is it not okay to criticize art?
I think it’s discouraging and unkind to artists to offer criticism that isn’t in some way constructive.
I think criticism is great: when it’s constructive.
That’s when you say what you’d like to make the art better. To issue constructive criticism, all you have to do is say WHAT you don’t like, so that the artist can learn and – assuming they want to make art you like better next time – incorporate that feedback. That’s what constructive criticism means.
Actual art criticism is a bit more nuanced and based on a fundamental grounding of understanding with the medium.
If you walk up to a Jackson Pollock painting and say ‘That’s bad’, literally no one interested in painting will call your statement art criticism.
But… Jackson Pollock’s ‘art’ is bad
Why do you think that? Have you ever seen one in person, up close?

Wowzy! Had not seen this artist before, really great pieces of work he’s got 🌻
I’m a big fan. He’s got a lot of diverse stuff, including some quick sketches of people around town and things, which I think are really delightful.
This looks kind of like an old expressway that was converted into a town.
It’s based on the Sixth Street Viaduct leading into downtown LA:
Just a heads up that the Patreon is giving a 404.
oo yea, this is the one listed on the website that seems to be working https://www.patreon.com/seanbodley
Thanks. It looks like the url accidentally included the period at the end of the sentence.
I fixed it!
We can crosspost now?
Yeah. The button looks like a little copy button for me. It’s like two squares overlapping.
