Max thought you might like a sneak peek at what he’s pretty sure will be the final version of the cover of his forthcoming book about the history of ‘Ausgang: Dark Matters’. Whaddya think? Art by the incredible Hilary Martin/Alchemy of The Pen.

Latest piece by Max: ‘Domme In Control’ (A4, ink & pencil on paper), after a brand new song we’ve yet to record - it’ll be on our forthcoming new album. Thank you to Manuela D'Angeli for modelling. BTW - please buy it. Max has an erotic art addiction to sustain…

Max’s book, ‘Ausgang: Dark Matters’ has been written, re-written, revised, proofread - and could probably STILL benefit from some polishing, but it’s now started the journey of courting indie publishers. Know of any other cool, edgy publishers he should be speaking to?
