Cover Art
Stephen
Mead is a published artist/writer living in Albany, New York. Some
of his work is featured on the November 2007 Cover, this Contents
page, and a gallery in this Sketchbook issue. As
an artist he is self-taught, yet has been heavily influenced
by both surrealism and expressionism.
Stephen Mead's Premiere Artist Portfolio is on-line.
In the early 1990's he was published in several little literary
magazines, but stopped to pursue visual work. On the web, both his
writing and his artwork have been showcased internationally.
Presently scars.tv has several title pieces of his e books archived
in their art pages at cc & d magazine. These works incorporate both
image and text, as does his e book "We Are More Than Our Wounds".
Currently photoshows of his piece "Blue Heart Diary" and other
poetry/art hybrids can be
viewed online.
