This desire to compensate people for the work they produce feels antiquated, almost like a job, which is a nice way of viewing writers.

I want to get this for the album artwork alone. These graphics are wild. Riot Season does such good, underrated work.

Question for publishers - can you include album art within a book if it is a book review kind of thing?

Anybody know of good foraging groups to join in the Chicagoland area (once the weather clears up).
