I'm looking for art to go along with my poetry that I can present as the illustration for it. I've posted this in the forums, but I also ask this of you, if you are or know any artists that are looking for things to do I'd love to pair them with one of my poems. Please be aware that they will be published as BLACK AND WHITE inside the book.

I've decided to publish ONE book of my dark poetry instead of two, so there are quite a few more poems that need illustrations now!

I also ran a contest for the cover art, will be full color! I will also send a free book to whoever I choose for the cover!

And the winner is...



"Tyranny" by [link]

Here is a list of the poems that will be included in Tyranny of Hope...they are in the order they appear.
