I still remember the first time I saw the artwork that would eventually become the cover of Lucy’s story (Wherever Would I Be). It was a bit of a shock, seeing my character so clearly in the work of someone else – but there she was. I figured, having held this book with this cover in my own hands so many times now, that I any related shocks to the system were in the past.
Cut to the artist, Pascal Campion, posting an image of a then upcoming New Yorker magazine with this art on the cover:
Then came a message from a friend:
It took me a couple days to get my hands on physical copy, but I finally succeeded today! The art on The New Yorker is a slightly different sketch, and I do have to say that I love on the one on the cover more (specifically the filled-out hair). But it’s a little surreal to see these two covers side by side. 🥰
