The story lent itself very well to being visualised, both in language and in content\/theme so my job as illustrator was pretty much just to sit back and let it happen. It is also that only illustration that I feel could have acted as a cover illustration to the collection as well as the illustration for its\u2019 respective story had the cover not already been decided; it shows small, fragile humanity staring at something far greater and more incomprehensible than itself or anything it has ever experienced before and that thing is staring right back. It shows a closeness to the dark that I think is present in all of the stories contained within this anthology.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2261\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2261\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greydogtales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/16-The-Place-Of-Revelation-001.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2261\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2261\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/greydogtales.com\/blog\/how-to-illustrate-clive-barker-a-gutted-special\/16-the-place-of-revelation-001\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greydogtales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/16-The-Place-Of-Revelation-001.jpg?fit=571%2C800&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"571,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Picasa&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"16 The Place Of Revelation-001\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;the place of revelation&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greydogtales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/16-The-Place-Of-Revelation-001.jpg?fit=214%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greydogtales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/16-The-Place-Of-Revelation-001.jpg?fit=474%2C664&amp;ssl=1\" class=\" wp-image-2261\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greydogtales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/16-The-Place-Of-Revelation-001.jpg?resize=290%2C407\" alt=\"the place of revelation\" width=\"290\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greydogtales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/16-The-Place-Of-Revelation-001.jpg?resize=214%2C300&amp;ssl=1 214w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greydogtales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/16-The-Place-Of-Revelation-001.jpg?w=571&amp;ssl=1 571w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2261\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">the place of revelation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"western\"><em><strong>greydog:<\/strong> <\/em>And finally, would you be up for a full feature on <em>greydogtales<\/em>, showing the full range of your work, when we get our act together at this end?<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><em><strong>luke:<\/strong> Of course.
