We’re pleased to have over for a chat our friend Toeken, artist of “Bone Planet” in The Future Fire #68.
TFF: How did you go about illustrating “Bone Planet”?
Toeken: I read Petra Kupper’s fascinating poem quite a few times, making sure I could get a handle on it, then left it alone for a couple of days before firing up the digital tablet. Aside from a few pencilled layers the piece is a combination of photographs and digital art. For example, the initial background template is a shot I took of a sunset outside my home and then digitally painted over.
TFF: Tell us about an artist whose work you're particularly enjoying at the moment?
Tk: There’s always a bunch but right now it’s Rahul Chakraborty, Rachael Mia Allen and Andrea Sorrentino.
TFF: What is your favourite example of hopeful, cosy or low-stakes SFF or horror?
Tk: I just finished with Carlos Ruiz Zafón’s The Shadow of the Wind. Fantastic, creepy stuff.
TFF: What else are you working on now?
Tk: I just finished some stuff for Shoreline of Infinity magazine, a couple of private commissions while working with the writer Phil Emery on a science fiction/noir project.
