As announced this week via GalleyCat, Pyr and British Fantasy Award-winning author Mark Chadbourn have agreed to a six-book deal which includes the first US publication of Chadbourn’s epic AGE OF MISRULE trilogy as well as his forthcoming SWORDS OF ALBION books. This morning, I signed the contracts to illustrate Pyr’s covers for the AGE…
While I was at Apollocon, I missed this. Jeff Vandermeer posted a solid rundown about Centipede Press‘ massive artbook extravaganza, THE ART OF LOVECRAFT: ARTISTS INSPIRED BY LOVECRAFT. Several of the book’s artists are quoted in the article, including yours truly. If you haven’t heard about this book, it’s a doozy. 400 pages of Lovecraft-inspired…
The Hugo Awards voting deadline is approaching quickly — July 7th, to be exact. I already turned in my ballot, but if anyone’s still working on theirs, check out this site — Spontaneous Derivation. Pretty cool — they’ve got rundowns on all of the Hugo Awards categories, and for anyone making last-minute decisions, this could…
Good times in Houston this past weekend at Apollocon. Pyr’s Lou Anders was the Editor Guest of Honor this year, so I couldn’t miss the celebration. It was Lou’s first GOH opportunity and I’m sure he’ll have many more in years to come. Did panels with Lou, Chris Roberson, Patrice Sarath, Alexis Glynn Latner, and…
Nominations for ASFA’s 23rd Annual Chesley Awards are due June 30. As of yesterday, Science Fiction Awards Watch offers illustrators a comment forum to inform voters where their 2007 art can be seen for consideration.

If you’re keeping score at home, this will be Book Three in Del Rey’s six-volume Elric series and it’ll be a December release. Here’s a few pertinent details for the first three books:ELRIC:…
Zoom….already halfway through the month of June….just realized I have a copy of Delos Books‘ 2008 calendar here in my studio and look what just happens to be the featured art for the month of “Giugno”. Of course, this illustration of mine first debuted here in the US as the wraparound cover for Lou Anders‘…
Tag from John Denardo at SF Signal who clearly must have plenty of free time on his hands (and clearly thinks I have the same). 😉 So the latest meme going around has the following instructions: “To participate, you grab any book, go to page 123, find the fifth sentence, and blog it. Then tag…
They’re still going strong and still one of the finest independent bookstores in the US. Right now, they’re trying to build a cafe next door to their store and in an age of chain bookstores, e-books, and Amazon Kindles, I believe indy stores like Borderlands need all the support we can give them, or we’re…
Just arrived in the mail today from the Czech Republic — comp copies of the Czech editions of A CANTICLE FOR LEIBOWITZ, as well as a Dan Simmons short story collection, both sporting cover illustrations by yours truly. Laser-Books is the publisher, and both printings look great. (Thanks, Martin!) The design for the Simmons collection…
