Here’s the just-completed rough sketch (8.5″ x 11″, pencil on bond) for the wraparound cover for Pyr‘s forthcoming edition of Robert Silverberg’s classic SON OF MAN. It seems a little strange to publicly display in-progress work while I’m still working out that job for a client. I doubt I’ll make a habit of this in…
Rave reviews coming in for Michael Moorcock’s THE METATEMPORAL DETECTIVE from Pyr (forthcoming, late October). Lou Anders has posted some over at Pyr’s blog, as well as a brand-new interview with Mike, courtesy of The Fantasy Review.
Reminder: If you’ve been meaning to check out MonkeyBrain Books’ 2-for-1 September Sale, only a few days remain before October comes calling. If I didn’t already own almost everything they publish, I’d be breaking out the checkbook myself. For instance, if you don’t already own Jess Nevins’ THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FANTASTIC VICTORIANA, no time like…
Here’s a triptych I recently completed for Simon & Schuster/Pocket Books. I submitted it to the publisher earlier this month, and thanks to some enterprising Trekkies, it’s already generating cyber-buzz. So I’ll share it here. Forthcoming in 2008, Pocket will release an eagerly-anticipated Terok Nor trilogy chronicling the Cardassian occupation of Bajor and the pre-DS9…
Two reviews for Sheri S. Tepper’s THE MARGARETS (Eos), available in stores now in hardcover: A rave, courtesy of BookLoons (reviewed by Hilary Williamson), and a mixed review over at Bookslut (reviewed by Adrienne Martini). The Bookslut review kindly mentions the cover as “lovely”. Unfortunately, because of the publisher’s mixup with the cover credit, Bookslut…
Cover illustration by me for both of these. Deja vu — I previously posted the wraparound art for these, but I’m posting this reminder that the books themselves are now available from Golden Gryphon Press. Shoutouts to publisher Gary Turner and editor Marty Halpern, for two more jobs well done.A THOUSAND DEATHS by George Alec…
There’s a bogus Blogspot using my name. It sells insurance. If you’re using a feed or Googling me, you’re likely to find this somewhere in your searches. No need to visit it as I’m sure it just encourages more bogusness. I’d like to contact Blogger and deal with this, and hopefully eliminate the bogus site.…
Been sitting on the fence waiting to buy a copy of COVER STORY: THE ART OF JOHN PICACIO, or Jess Nevins’ THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FANTASTIC VICTORIANA? Well, wait no longer. COVER STORY has been graced with not only 2007 Locus and Hugo Award nominations, but it’s also in large part why I’ve been nominated for…
Also known as our madcap, surgical strike trip to Worldcon 2007 in Yokohama, Japan…I’m back home now and dead-tired, but before I crash, here are a few sights and thoughts from the journey. The whole experience was worth every bit of time and money, and I’m so glad I went. Met my buddy Lou Anders…
I’m off to Japan and Worldcon in less than 24 hours. Apparently, Random House and Amazon have both posted solicitations for Del Rey’s forthcoming trade paperback release of ELRIC: THE STEALER OF SOULS by the legendary Michael Moorcock. If you click their cover, it doesn’t yet show a larger version of the new cover. I’m…
