Just to give you an idea of what my poor, long-suffering artist has to work with

You've no doubt heard about "back of the envelope ideas." Well, that's exactly how the cover concept for ​The Water War came about. This past August, I was in an airport somewhere in the American Midwest in production on my latest documentary when I decided it was time to get Kierston going on the cover. So, as my son and I were eating lunch, I quickly sketched up the following.

I sent it off to Kierston, along with a brief description of the scene, and she was off to the races. Her ability to interpret such horrid drawings is just one of the many reasons I enjoy working with her so much.
