On almost every trip to the airport that I’ve made for the past eight or nine years, I’ve found myself, at one point or another, gazing across the tarmac and thinking longingly of the book Five Trucks, out of print and largely unavailable now for, well, eight or nine years.

Land, sea, air, space, together at last! Here’s a detail from a new cover painting now underway.
