?This month’s cover is called “Inspired by the Spire”. It’s a mix between folktales and modern-day reality, and a reminder not to take life too seriously.
I’ve always been a fan of fantasy, folktales and the surreal, imagination running wild, the possibilities are endless, turning something normally seen as ordinary into something otherworldly. Walking by the Spire countless times I’ve always wondered what if it was a beacon that takes you from one world to another. In this case, a corner shop for giants.
