No Binding. Condición: Fine. Original Photograph. 1956- ) Working Name Of American Artist Jeffrey Knight Potter (1956-) Aka Jeff K Potter. Born In California, He Has Lived Most Of His Life In The American South, A Region Which He Reports Has Had A Major Impact On His Extravagantly Outré Artwork. After Contributing To Fanzines, Potter Began His Career By Doing Covers For Small Press Publications, Beginning With H Warner Munn's Tales Of The Werewolf Clan (1979) For Donald M Grant, And These Have Remained His Main Market, Though He Has Also Done Covers For Major Publishers' Books, Sf Magazines, And Cds. Potter Has Garnered A Unique Reputation For Relying Upon Altered Photographs To Produce Strikingly Bizarre Or Grotesque Images Which Often "Morph" Disparate Elements, Like A Human Head Emerging From A Disembodied Hand Playing The Piano, His Cover For The Winter 1985 Issue Of Night Cry, Or The Woman With Octopus's Tentacles For Hair On The Cover Of Poppy Z Brite's Collection Are You Loathsome Tonight? (Coll 1998). His Art, Unsurprisingly, Is Most Often Found On Works Of Fantasy Or Horror, But Occasional Sf Assignments Can Be Effectively Evocative, Like His Cover For The 1997 Edition Of Ursula K Le Guin's The Lathe Of Heaven (1971), Depicting A Man's Head Merging Into A Devastated Urban Landscape. He Has Created Covers For Asimov's Sciencfiction Magazine, Tim Powers, And Several Books By Stephen King And Lucius Shepard. (Source: Science Fiction Encyclopedia). Forrest Ackerman Collection.
