I wish I could read Italian. Silvio Sosio and the good folks over at Delos Books sent me copies of ROBOT 51, the latest issue of their cool digest-sized sf/fantasy magazine. It features cover art by me, which you may recognize as the cover for Lou Anders‘ critically-acclaimed anthology LIVE WITHOUT A NET (Roc). I’m…
…and it was a terrific time up there in Tulsa. Thanks to all of the con committee who put on an entertaining and diverse con, especially Elspeth, Kathy, Barbara, Randy, Paul, Amanda, Dr. Omed, and Uncle Guido. Thanks to all of you for taking care of Traci and me and all of the GOHs, including…
In the aforementioned issue of DEATH RAY (#2), they previewed one of the brand-new interior illustrations I’ve just finished for the much-anticipated Del Rey trade paperback release, ELRIC: THE STEALER OF SOULS by Michael Moorcock (February 2008 release). DEATH RAY used the illustration as a field background and I thought they did a clever job…

Last weekend when I was in Seattle, I signed lots of copies of COVER STORY: THE ART OF JOHN PICACIO for University Bookstore. Duane Wilkins is the pointman for sf/fantasy at University. He’s a great guy and he does a lot for all of us in the sf/fantasy community. So if you’re in Seattle, they’ve…
Saturday was already a great day with the Locus Award win, but it was made even more so (if that’s possible) when I heard I’m a finalist for the International Horror Guild Award in the Artist category! In my case, my IHG nomination is because of COVER STORY: THE ART OF JOHN PICACIO. This is…

I’m home now, and sincerely grateful to all of the Locus readers who made this possible, especially…
