This is the final cover of the collection - I thought about illustrating the cage of the hunger artist, and then its contents - pile of straw and small glass of water. I wanted to play with the image of the bars' shadows, as I thought it was quite visually striking, but I realised there would be a point where the bars would disappear into nothing, creating another vignette. I didn't want this, so I decided to exclude them.
By the end, I felt that getting a correct scale and emphasis on the glass of water was proving challenging and ended up detracting from the image of the straw, so decided to remove it.
With this image complete, all the covers are now done.
