“Nothing was working. I’d already gone through a yard of fabric without getting the right effect. Trying once more, I used the scissors to notch the cobalt blue silk fabric, then pulled and ripped it down the middle. The tear still didn’t have the kind of frayed edge I wanted. I threw it down and walked away from my drafting table. The collage was due the next day and I didn’t see how I was going to make it. I’d been working on the cover design for three weeks but I couldn’t get it right. I was ...almost there but something was missing. Every few months I got a book cover illustration assignment from Jeff Harding, who was the art director at a New York publishing house. This time he’d said his deadline was tight - that he only had three weeks - but that should have been long enough for me. I hated the thought of blowing it. The jobs Jeff gave me were both creatively satisfying and good for my portfolio, and I wanted to get more of them. I also was good friends with Jeff and didn’t want to disappoint him.MoreLessRead More Read Less
