Five questions for the Tall Designer


We didn't ask them. Spike did.
They are interesting questions, and he answered in a very interesting fashion.

Go forth, read, enjoy, and discover behind-the-scenes stuff about the cover design for Lili Wikinson's Pink!

If we had asked Bruno five questions it would have looked more like this:
1) I'm going for coffee - is your KeepCup clean?
2) Well, I like it, but what is it, exactly?
3) Do you think we could add the title to the front cover?
4) How do I work the scanner again?
5) Can I have the archive files for Zombies vs Unicorns?
Which would have been far less interesting for everyone, especially Bruno.

'I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.' - Maya Angelou

So true, Maya Angelou. So true.

We think you can also tell a bit about a person from what they keep on their desks.

Herewith, a photo essay from the House of Onion:











All this talk of desks has put us in mind to revisit the world's first unmanned flying desk set.*





*And as an added bonus, you'll know how to say 'world's first unmanned flying desk set' in Spanish, because we couldn't find a clip that didn't have subtitles. That should come in handy. But don't let it detract from the pathos of the moment. Oh Todd. Oh Neil. *sob*
