Hello, My name is Alex Degen and I am typing on this blog today to tell you that the spring 2018 line-up from Koyama Press has been announced today, which includes the announcement of my book “Soft X-ray/Mindhunters” (392 pages, soft cover)

It’s the longest and biggest single work I have ever made and I am happy and proud of it.  I hope you will like it and buy it and read it (not in that order) when it comes out in spring.

Meanwhile for real blog heads, above, pencil mockups of cover designs I didn’t end up using for the final book cover. (Parts of the above designs did make it into the final cover).  Anyway thanks for reading this blog and others.

I hope you love the book!

Thinkfluencers been telling me no one uses Tumblr anymore so apologies for not posting as much.  If you were looking and didn’t see anything from me for a while I mean.  Here are a bunch of fragments from the current thing.  My name is Alex btw.  I made these images and others.  Can you find them all?  Happy hunting.
