Here it is. I’m pleased to see COVER STORY: THE ART OF JOHN PICACIO listed amongst LOCUS’ list of the best art books of 2006. Awesome.
Also especially pleased to see the following books on the list because I was fortunate to do covers for them:
THE EMPIRE OF ICE CREAM by Jeffrey Ford (Golden Gryphon)
THE MAN FROM THE DIOGENES CLUB by Kim Newman (MonkeyBrain Books)
FUTURESHOCKS, edited by Lou Anders (Penguin/Roc)
SCIENCE FICTION: THE VERY BEST OF 2005, edited by Jonathan Strahan (Locus Press)
FANTASY: THE VERY BEST OF 2005, edited by Jonathan Strahan (Locus Press)
MYTHS FOR THE MODERN AGE: PHILIP JOSE FARMER’S WOLD NEWTON UNIVERSE, edited by Win Eckert (MonkeyBrain Books)
BLOOD & THUNDER: THE LIFE & ART OF ROBERT E. HOWARD by Mark Finn (MonkeyBrain Books)
Is it me, or did they list every collection and anthology published last year? LOL.
Heh. Now that I glance back at those categories….yeah, there are a bunch of them, aren’t there…interesting….
Hello John,
Wow, you do keep busy. Great to see your artwork, and I look forward to hanging out at the Elf Fantasy Fair.
By the way, any joy in terms of those travel arrangements? I haven’t heard anything new.
Be well,
David.
Hi, David —
Actually, I haven’t heard anything, come to think of it. I’ll query them again this week, and let you know when I hear. Thanks for reminding me.
I’ll check in with you as the date approaches, regardless…..
Congrats! Your book is definitely on my list of art books to pick up as the pocketbook allows this year. I am hoping for sooner rather than later!
Hey, Carl —
Thanks a lot. Much appreciated. Recently discovered your own blog, Stainless Steel Droppings. Very fun! I’ve got it bookmarked….
