I thought a thread for Raw Shark Texts related images might be fun and useful, so if you have pics in any way connected, related, inspired-by or reminiscent of the book - please feel free to post them up here. Here's a couple from my hard drive to get the ball rolling... The Orpheus (constructed for the Canadian book launch, Toronto, 2007)

Wow...I really like the cover for the UK hardback.
And there it was, full of everything and overwhelming nothingness.
Leo went on, a false idea resting in a candy wrapper of societal perfection.
He had no idea what it meant to see, what it meant to know.
And there was no way for me to un-know. No way for me to un-see. No way I could ever shield myself in one of those brightly colored candy wrappers of pretend ignorance.
I think I wanted it that way, to be like Leo, but I knew that would never happen.
~A snippet of things to come.

Yeah...I saw that one on MySpace and instantly fell in love with it. It's fantastic. I also like that one of the lined paper with the shark fins. Really cool.

Well heartbreak...I'd say that puts your HoL collection to shame now doesn't it. ;)

Of course...but that's besides the point.
