This is the background art for the cover. Before I share the full cover, I wanted to give a peak at what artist Sean Bodley has done for the background.

You can find more of his work at https://seanbodley.com/ and support him at patreon.com/seanbodley .

But... Jackson Pollock's 'art' is bad

Why do you think that? Have you ever seen one in person, up close?

Come on, who hasn't been to the MOMA? Honestly I was kinda joking, I'm not a fan of abstract splatter-type arts, to me that kind of thing seems incredibly self centered of the artist and ofter low effort or wasted effort without conveying a universal beauty of any kind and instead forcing viewers to have to accept that the artist must have seen something that they don't... It's not friendly or inviting as an experience for anyone that isn't in the "know", you know?

I have to agree that a lot of 'modern' art is pretentious and self-indulgent, for this one artist I put aside my distaste after seeing one up close. It's not just paint splatters, there's work in the texture. They're more of kind of 3d art than anything.

That said, thinks like that joker who taped a banana to a gallery wall just piss me of to no end.
