<\/p> $\"\"$ <\/a>Artists \u2014 if you\u2019ve never picked up an issue of LOCUS MAGAZINE<\/a> or haven\u2019t picked one up in a long time, you should have a look at the April 2012 issue, which is available for purchase online<\/a> or at US newsstands by now.\n

The entire issue is dedicated to SF&F art and features interviews with Brom, Boris Vallejo & Julie Bell, Michael Whelan, Todd Lockwood, Bob Eggleton, Irene Gallo, Charles Vess, Kinuko Y. Craft, Julie Dillon, James Gurney, Stephan Martiniere, John Jude Palencar, Gregory Manchess, Donato Giancola, and more. Editor supreme Liza Groen Trombi and design goddess Francesca Myman masterminded this issue, and I think they outdid themselves. It\u2019s a great read and there\u2019s a lot of insight in these little interviews and galleries. $\"\"$ <\/a>
And if you go to the back of the issue \u2014 there\u2019s a decent conversation there with me too. \ud83d\ude42 Note \u2014 the one hilarious quibble I had with this issue \u2014 if you look at the print edition and even the online edition, my skin looks like the Joker\u2019s. Yikes. If I ever get that white, I think it\u2019s time to pull the plug and call the coroner. LOL But that\u2019s the vagaries of printing for you. (Color-tweaked back to reality below. :)) The interview and art is what matters, and it\u2019s a huge pleasure to be in such great company. \u2018Hope you enjoy the read. $\"\"$ <\/a>Artists \u2014 if you wanna see LOCUS shine more spotlight on art, show \u2019em by buying this issue today (and buy another for a friend). Worth your time and money! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
