<\/p>The Association of Science Fiction & Fantasy Artists<\/a> has released their list of the 22nd Annual Chesley Awards Nominees. Current ASFA members can of course download the Final Ballot here<\/a>, and vote by August 10th. For anyone else who\u2019s curious, the whole rundown\u2019s posted below. Some really terrific work on the ballot, and I\u2019m honored to have two of my cover illustrations amongst the nominated. These were posted earlier this month when ASFA released their Chesley Preliminary List, but here they are again.\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>In the Best Cover Illustration \u2014 Paperback Book category, here\u2019s my cover for Walter M. Miller, Jr.\u2019s classic A CANTICLE FOR LEIBOWITZ (Eos).<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>And in the Best Cover Illustration \u2014 Magazine category, here\u2019s my cover for INTERZONE #204 (May\/June 2006).<\/p>\n

Special shoutout to Pyr\u2019s Lou Anders. His sheer versatility as Pyr\u2019s Editorial Director and Jack-of-All-Trades has now been officially exposed to the world, as he\u2019s recognized with a Chesley nom for Best Art Director. How many editors have a Chesley nom for Art Director on their resume?? To all of my fellow nominees, I\u2019m honored to be amongst you. Here\u2019s the full list:<\/p>\n
