(This selection is one of 20+ interior illustrations I did for the book, but I’d have to say this is my personal favorite. Here’s an extensive gallery of some my other interiors from the book.)

And finally, shoutouts to Lou Anders — a 2009 Hugo Award nominee for Best Editor, and a 2009 Chesley Award nominee for Best Art Director (a very rare feat) — and also fellow Texan Vincent Villafranca for his well-earned 3D nomination. Congrats to all fellow nominees. I’m proud and honored to be amongst you!

  2. My best wishes, fellow! It’s a pleasure to attend this race…we haven’t yet met personally (one day it will happen, I know), but meeting you on the arena is a honor and a satisfying surrogate… 🙂

    Your paintings are amazing. Be assured that your creations keep inspiring even artists, not just fans!

    Very best, Maurizio
