Some artists take their industries by storm. David Sklar’s career has been more like an ill-conceived siege in which he misestimated which side would be first to run out of supplies. Nevertheless, he has managed to get work into Strange Horizons, Bull Spec, and other places, with pending works in Ladybug, Scheherazade’s Façade, and elsewhere. He lives in New Jersey and tries to support his family with freelance work.
