A Taste of Interfictions 2

“Information is sacred. I don't remember why, or who told me. But I know that information is sacred, so I write it down, scraps of knowledge and observations. I used to write in leather-bound journals with elegant heavy pens, but my fetish for elegance has fallen by the wayside in my rush to commit everything to paper. Now I use cheap marbled composition books, purchased by the dozen. The pen is still important, though. It must write in smooth lines of black, not catch on the page. There is too much to capture.”

A Dirge for Prester John by Catherynne M. Valente

This auction has ended. Thanks to everyone who bid. Please check the front page for more auctions, going on through the first week of December, 2009.

The vivid imagery in Valente’s story stayed with me for days after I read it, standing out in my subconscious even among all the other superb work in the anthology. When I set to picking a story for the IAF auction, the choice was already made – I could see this image, almost effortlessly forming in my mind. The trick for an artist is, of course, execution. This is very like what I had in mind, and also a pleasant departure, in some ways, from my other work. Instead of an easily-reproduced illustration, I took this opportunity to create something one-of-a-kind and almost dreamily abstract. I must emphasize my gratitude to Ms. Valente for the inspiration and to the Interstitial Arts Foundation for this opportunity.
