Micro-interview with Saleha Chowdhury, Cover artist of the Noir Fire anthology.
TFF: How did you go about designing and illustrating the cover for this noir-themed volume?
Saleha Chowdhury: I started by studying imagery surrounding noir-themed works paying attention to common motifs. Traditional imagery like rain, fog, and a cityscape were things I decided to include. Instead of a traditionally male character I chose to have someone more feminine with a sense of style all their own.
TFF: Have you ever seen a statue or a piece of art that you wished was alive?
SC: I wish some pieces of Jean Giraud's fantasy art were real. It would be really interesting to walk around in them and learn more about those worlds.
TFF: What magical power would you like to possess?
SC: I would love the ability to teleport and visit faraway places. Especially natural places that are really out of the way.
