Justin K.H Chen, an artist in New York, is working with Smokelong Quarterly's Senor Editor, Tara Laskowski on an interesting illustration project.
Here's what he wrote to Tara
My goal was to create a print edition of a specially curated collection of fiction, from the 10 years archives of Smokelong Quarterly. This print edition still retains the components of a typical publication, but will not contain the actual writing. Instead each story will be expressed through a sequences of abstract images.
Here's what Justin created for my story, Every Day There is So Much About Elephants. The original illustration for the story was by Sue Miller, which appeared in March 2011, when the story originally did.
“The Collector” by Bess Winter
“Remembering Elizabeth” by Bob Arter
“Five Fat Men in a Hot Tub” by Jeff Landon
“Dairy Queen” by Jennifer Pashley
“Sleepless #7” by Joe Kapitan
“Finally” by John Minichillo
“Partners” by Simon Jacobs
“Home Smells Like Mold” by Mary Hamilton
“Rehearsal for Dinner Party Theater” by Pamela Painter

Some of Justin's work and the original Smokelong Stories appear today in their special Halloween Edition but can be viewed here.
