Thank you so much for this lovely review and interview, Cage.
I’m delighted to have this baby awake in the world at last.
Hello, Frank. I thoroughly enjoyed The Garden Black and I’m wondering what the inspiration behind each piece was, and how you created the relived moment?

I exercise little control (too little really) over the images I use for most of my covers…
