 Vermilion Sands
To be given,
when still an Art Student at St. Martins School of Art
in 1974, when still living with my parents in South
London, the opportunity to provide cover art for J.G. Ballard's
amazing book, being what The Times
Literary Supplement would refer to as "one of the most
accomplished creators of evocative landscapes in modern
fiction" I confess, I had never heard of Ballard at that
time.
No Matter, for, as
soon as I began reading the collection
of science fiction short stories, set in a
strange luxury vacation resort (called Vermilion
Sands) the characters in it leapt at me demanding
action!
The wealthy, the privileged, and those around them
who exploit them and the fictional environment
provided a wonderful opportunity to indulge my
imagination.
And thank you, the great,late Steve Abis,
talented and helpful Art Director of Panther
Books in London's Soho.
Never forgotten.
