Quick shoutouts and thanks to all at BookPeople<\/a>, Austin Books<\/a>, Adventures In Crime and Space<\/a>, and Edge Books<\/a>. These folks all were heavily supporting COVER STORY: THE ART OF JOHN PICACIO<\/a>, and I really appreciate it. ArmadilloCon 28 was great.<\/p>\n

Next week I\u2019m off to Anaheim for Worldcon<\/a> and the Chesleys and Hugos. If you\u2019re in the area, I hope to see you at any of these or at the bar. I\u2019m looking forward to the two panels that I\u2019m moderating. Should be a great time! Here\u2019s the rundown:

Precis: Over the past 70 plus years, science fiction illustration has changed dramatically. The \u201930s and \u201940s had their flashy, lurid covers. The \u201950s and \u201960s sported high tech space-scapes and abstracts. The \u201970s and \u201980s have brought us photo-realism. What were the trends of the recent decades? What lies ahead?<\/p>\n
