Tell the truth, I wish CR hadn't been redesigned. I miss the old bigger format. Issues like this looked a whole lot better with a bit more space. While I'm complaining I might as well mention that I find the text difficult to read (for us oldies) and looking very Herb Lubalin retro.

Lovely work though. Exceptional cover.

What happened to the Illustration Annual images that were on your Flickr feed? One minute they were all there, the next they were gone? Now there's only 21 left... when will the other ones be back up again?
Kapow!
