For the past month, we’ve been serializing the illustrated novel The Lost Machine by author and illustrator Richard A. Kirk. Having created art and illustrations for a variety of weird authors ranging from Thomas Ligotti to Caitlìn R. Kiernan, readers may already be familiar with Kirk’s work even though they may not recognize his name. Today we explore Kirk’s art with a gallery of his work. Also, check out our interview with Kirk which features his cover and illustrations for Clive Barker’s Weaveworld.
