3 May 2026 First published RNZ

Artist and book cover designer Todd Atticus is parked up in the window of Unity Books in Wellington this week, designing cover artwork for Mia Farlane's new novel And How Are Things With You in real time, turning his practice into a performance.

Atticus has designed covers for Catherine Chidgey, Duncan Sarkies and Tusiata Avia.

He joined RNZ's Culture 101 live from the shop window.
