I came across these beautiful USA stamp designs of Flannery O’Connor when doing research for a workshop on Irish Stamp Designs - celebration 100 years on the 6th Dec 2022!

WiP: What drew you to commission June Glasson to paint the covers of the rereleases, from which you drew for this project?

The inspiration to hire June came from Milton Glaser’s 1967 cover for Wise Blood. His sooty illustration approach reminded me somewhat of Glasson’s layered ink techniques. Her series “The Foulest of Shapes” (2009) struck me with its brutal beauty. I hoped to capture some of this with our O’Connor reissues. I talk more about our collaboration here.
