BSFA Fission #3 Cover Design

Front Cover Design   I was asked by fellow Sauúti collaborator, Eugen Bacon, to design the cover for the third volume of the British Science Fiction Association's (BSFA) Fission anthology. We both wanted to infuse it with our own African influences, and with my ongoing research on various African writing systems , I played with the forms from Nsibidi.

Fission #3 is available here. Full Cover Spread Find out more about this volume and the contributing authors.
