So tomorrow night (Thursday), I’m doing a signing for COVER STORY: THE ART OF JOHN PICACIO at the mighty BookPeople, in Austin, over at 6th and Lamar, at 7pm. It’s one of my favorite bookstores anywhere, and I’m looking forward to being there. If you’re in the area, I’d love to see you.

Then this weekend is ArmadilloCon 28, and again, if you’re in the Austin area, you really should come out because the FACT folks always put on a great show. I’ll be displaying work in the Art Show and I’ll be on several panels there. Here’s my panel schedule:
