Houston, we have a cover.

Okay, maybe Mission Control isn’t especially interested in the cover of our winter issue (due out in November), but the unearthly orb does bring the multiverse to mind. Eric Lee’s gorgeous paintings-on-glass have a luminous quality that represents, for him, “the beauty in . . . what connects us,” and we’re excited to feature his work in our pages. See more from this Chicago-based artist at www.presteau.com, and come November, plan to moon over our visual-art portfolio.
