<\/p> $\"\"$ <\/a>SPECTRUM 17: THE BEST IN CONTEMPORARY FANTASTIC ART<\/a> last month announced its list of artists selected for inclusion<\/a> in the forthcoming annual. SPECTRUM is a much-anticipated, juried volume compiling the finest works from the worlds of books, comics, advertising, editorial, 3D and concept art in the previous year. This weekend, I was notified that two of my 2009 works were selected. They are my cover illustration for Mark Chadbourn\u2019s AGE OF MISRULE: BOOK 1 \u2014 WORLD\u2019S END<\/a> (pictured here), and my cover illustration for James Dashner\u2019s THE 13TH REALITY: THE JOURNAL OF CURIOUS LETTERS<\/a>.\n

Lou Anders was the art director for the MISRULE illustration and I thank him for once again being a superlative collaborator, allowing the room to roam and find this image. Lisa Vega was the designer that commissioned THE 13TH REALITY illustration. I\u2019m especially gratified the SPECTRUM jury selected this one. THE 13TH REALITY: THE JOURNAL OF CURIOUS LETTERS released last year in paperback, and the publisher rejected this image in favor of a much less potent, color version of the artwork for publication. I\u2019ll be pleased when my preferred version debuts in SPECTRUM\u2019s pages this November.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
