About the Cover, “Wilson Adopts a Cat”
Birds in cars is a favorite subject of mine. The first one was created in 2014 (almost not created because it seemed too silly) and I haven’t stopped making them since.
Vivienne Strauss
Never formally trained in the arts, I’ve been immeasurably fortunate to have a “job” doing what I love. Working as a full-time artist since 2008, my background in philosophy, love for movies, nature, and the written word have all profoundly influenced my playful, sometimes quirky design perspective. My aesthetic is unconventional, and I’ve never been able to confine myself to a single medium. For me, I don’t use materials as boundaries and work in oils, watercolors, paper, glue, fabric, photography, and just about anything I can repurpose. Sold worldwide, my art has been collected by some of my favorite creative like-minds and been commissioned for numerous books and CD covers.
