About The Cover
This month's incredible cover comes to us from renowned psychedelic artist Chris Dyer. Writes Dyer, "I painted this image in Montreal back in 2001, as a college project. The teacher, Carmelo Blandino, didn't mind the illegal subject matter depicted, as he knew my art style was something unique and it deserved to be encouraged, not censored. He ended up buying the watercolour off me and we've stayed friends. When Leaf Magazines asked me to do the cover for the mag, I felt it was time to revamp this image, as it was neverdone correctly,sincemytechnicalabilitieswerestill growingbackthen. The image, named "Life," depicts an interdimensional creature of life, enjoying the electric blessings of the herb."
