Summoning the Surreal

Weston's cover illustration for Garth Nix’s short story Asymmetrical—published by Reactor—captures the anarchic energy of a tale where a casual summoning spirals into demonic mayhem.

The artwork centres on Peter Lark, an aspiring artist with a knack for the occult, whose life unravels after he conjures a shapeshifting demon named Stencil. Weston brings this chaos vividly to life: a bloodied arm, a wild cascade of tarot cards, and arcane symbols swirl together in a dynamic, surreal composition.

The result is both unsettling and mesmerising—perfectly mirroring the story’s offbeat humor and unpredictable twists.
