Time for a reveal: the cover's background art!

cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/6081311

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.
  
  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
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.
