Volume One finds its cover art in a number of ways, from local art shows to random emails to knowing someone who knows someone who knows a great artist. The art always originates from a current or former Chippewa Valley resident. If you'd like to submit cover art, send us a message.

“‘Mysterious’ is a word I often like to implement into my work. Leaving information out of an image provides space for viewers to engage beyond the page. In one perspective, the information that is abstracted from the work is equally as important as what is shown. I have had people ask me, ‘Who is the person running from?’ Well, you are the viewer. You have the creative power to imagine the world that is beyond the lines that confine this image. Who is he running from?” – The Artist
