Still surviving, even if not thriving. But we can get through these strange times and come out better for it.
I was pretty thrilled when I got to do the cover for Heat #16, since I've known this magazine from its debut! If you want to check it out and read a blurb on the picture's background, it's on the SofaWolf website.
This scene was inspired by the story "American Heat", which follows a jackal and ferret on a cross-country, post-apocalyptic trip. And the color scheme here... it was a special challenge working on an almost monochromatic scene trying to get the feeling for a HOT night in the predawn hours. I went through a dozen color palettes before settling on this one -- even a touch of blue in the sky seemed to cool down the atmosphere too much.
My massive thanks to the editors and contributors for making this (sadly final) edition of the anthology possible. Working with you has been nothing but amazing.

My fav EOTWAWKI story is Steven King's epic, "The Stand."
But a close second is a collection of tales called "Wastelands - Stories of the Apocalypse" edited by John Joseph Adams. Check it out. There in, you'll find a story by Elizabeth Bear (no, really!) called "The Devil And the Deep Blue Sea."
Its about a post apocalyptic mail courier, who's motorcycle is one of the Devil's princes....and he wants to renege on his deal for her soul.
I think you'll enjoy it.

Its a great read. About 18 short stories from great horror and sci-fi authors. One of the stories is even set in Toronto and is my favourite: "The Day SysAdmins Ruled the World" by Dr. Corey Doctrow. Grab a Kindle version and snuggle up by the fire with your favourite weasel. 8-)
