Inkthinker

I admit, for a short time I just stared at it, absorbing the artwork of Ben McSweeney, also known around these parts as Inkthinker. Utterly gorgeous, with an amazing use of color and space that makes me equal parts inspired and jealous. After that, I spent some time just touching the book, feeling the smooth cover, and then smelling it.

It smells... like awesome.

Hah! I didn't even think to take off the dust jacket. You're right, it's quite nice.

The typo is the one, singular, perfect flaw that reminds us of the nature of the universe; nothing is finished, everything is process. It's very Zen.

I guess I'll spend twice as much time lurking in the Mistborn and Stormlight forums now.

Shame we lost all the nice fan-art from the original forums. Plus it was kind of a nice archive of how I met, wooed and won my way into Brandon's back pocket.
