The Art of Hagenspan

Most of the art of Hagenspan has been humbly fabricated
by the dubious cunning of the author,
using snippets from books, magazines, photographs,
and even a stray bit of direct mail,
which were then piecemealed together using
a computer graphics program.

The map of Hagenspan was drawn in agonizing detail
by the author, at first just so he could remember
where his characters were in the story.

The covers to the two paperback novels were created
by graphic artists unknown to the author.

But here's a happy announcement:

Emily Swan, a graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh,
has agreed to begin creating illustrations to decorate the borders
of the .pdf versions of the Hagenspan books.

The illustrations will be appearing as they are produced,
beginning with the first book
and hopefully proceeding through to the end of the saga.
