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.
“Reimagine, Relaunch” by Michael Iver Jacobsen

“It was a privilege to do the first cover artwork for the ‘new look’ of Volume One. I was in school at UW-Eau Claire when this publication first began. I contributed some artwork for covers early on and did original illustrations for several of the short stories published in the early years. I really enjoy drawing people, buildings, and lately landscapes, so this illustration seems to cover all of the bases for me and the community, depicting a bit of Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, and Menomonie. It was an opportunity to show the Chippewa Valley community doing something fun and artistic in the outdoors.”
