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.“Summer Here“ by Lori Chilefone
Lori Chilefone is entertaining “a little diversion”; it airs from 2-3pm Sundays on WHYS 96.3 FM – Eau Claire’s Community Radio
“Summer Here” (2017) • 21" x 35" • Analog + digital collage, limited edition fine art print & 11" x 17" poster • From artist: “This illustration was a commission for author and musician Michael Perry, and was inspired by the opening lines of his memoir, Population: 485. The poster version of Summer Here is available at SneezingCow.com (poster sales donated to Feed My People through July 31.)
As an artist who occasionally stands on the ephemeral shoulders of artists before our time, I’d like to offer a respectful nod here to Smeeton & Tilly (c. 1880) who created the gravure rendering of Phoebe, a Titan moon goddess, from a marble statue carved by an unknown sculptor from around the same era, or earlier.
