Recently arrived — Marco Palmieri and the Pocket Books team were kind enough to send me my copies of the STAR TREK: TEROK NOR trilogy. The first two debuted in March and April, respectively, and the third book should be in bookstores now. As mentioned here previously, I illustrated the three covers as a triptych…
Been working round-the-clock on two covers these last several days. One of them is the cover for Michael Moorcock’s ELRIC: THE SLEEPING SORCERESS, which will be the third of Del Rey‘s six-volume Elric series. Right now, I’m working on the final color version, but here’s a look at the final pencil underdrawing. Pencil on Crescent…
Looks like my cover art for two STAR TREK: MYRIAD UNIVERSE books has leaked into cyberspace this week. So I guess it’s OK to post it here. The top picture is the cover illo for a July release called STAR TREK: MYRIAD UNIVERSES — INFINITY’S PRISM, which features alternate universe TREK stories by Christopher L.…

Irene Gallo, Arnie Fenner, Bob Eggleton and others have posted nice remembrances of Berkey. I’m definitely one of the legions who revere his work, which I believe is more influential now…
Now available — Includes an interview with yours truly, conducted late January/early Feburary this year, courtesy of Jeff VanderMeer, AKA The Hardest Working Man in Genre. (Bizarre — how have I known Jeff this long, and only now did I notice that he capitalizes the “M” in his last name??) More good stuff in CLARKESWORLD…
As mentioned in my previous post, I had the honor of presenting a tribute speech for Michael Moorcock before he was officially named the 25th Grandmaster of the Science Fiction Writers of America this past Saturday night. The phrase “With A Little Help From My Friends” definitely comes to mind. Many thanks to Neil Gaiman,…
