That gallery just went live today: a motley collection of &#8220;The Island&#8221; illos and concept art deriving not just from the story, but from occasional aborted attempts to translate it from print into the digital-interactive realms.\u00a0 I haven&#8217;t heard anything new about any of those projects for at least a year now, so I&#8217;m assuming they&#8217;re all dead.
