Here’s my cover art for James Dashner’s THE 13TH REALITY: THE JOURNAL OF CURIOUS LETTERS, just released this week in a fresh new edition from Aladdin.

That’s what LOCUS MAGAZINE‘s masthead says at the top of every issue. Over the last year or so, I’ve been wondering if that’s really true. Or should the word “Field” be replaced with the word “Writer”? Reason: virtually every LOCUS interview for the past decade has been writer-centric. I mentioned on Twitter and Facebook today…
Made a quick visit to SMOFCon 27 in Austin, TX yesterday afternoon. Quick thoughts: 1. Thanks to Karen Meschke for graciously inviting me to participate on a panel called “Artists — What They Need and Expect From Conventions”.

Subterranean Press has announced that their limited edition of Dan Simmons’ epic novel THE TERROR is all done and ready to ship. I did the cover art for this one. It’s my third Simmons limited edition cover. The first two Simmons books that I cover-illustrated sold out their first editions (MUSE OF FIRE and DROOD).…

Pat and Jeannie Wilshire have done just that — built the best annual sf/fantasy art event in their hometown of tiny Altoona, PA, and…
Wow. WFC’09, you were a blast. I had a terrific time as I always do at WFC. Hats off to the con com for a dynamite show. Although the Art Show was definitely not a highlight (low sales and poor turnout), I managed to sell my small display of work (hooray!) and enjoyed the work…
Thanks to everyone at MileHiCon 41 for a terrific time! I went straight from there to the World Fantasy Con so I’m only now getting to blog about it. I was Artist Guest of Honor over the weekend of October 23-25 and the MHC folks know how to put on a first class show. Artists…
Wow, it’s been a busy month — so busy that I haven’t been logging much time here at my blog. MileHiCon 41 is here — and here’s where I’ll be in the Mile High City. Because I’m the Artist Guest of Honor at this weekend’s show, you can expect that I’ll have a large art…
