Most of the time when I post here, I’m blogging about covers that I’ve done, or the books they represent. Not the case with the cover you see on your left. Next Saturday, I’ll have the honor of commemorating Ed Emshwiller’s induction into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in Seattle. I’ll be presenting his…
Woke up this morning and read a couple of emails from UK readers who noticed last night’s post. They both asked where they could find COVER STORY: THE ART OF JOHN PICACIO in the UK. Good question. The book was released in May 2006 here in the States and I’m not sure when it started…
This past weekend, I found out that I’m in consideration for this year’s British Fantasy Award in the Artist category. The British Fantasy Society‘s “Long List”, or Recommendation List, is floating around on various sites, so I guess it’s officially public now. I saw it today over at Shocklines. Apparently, the BF Award in this…
Here’s the wraparound cover art for the forthcoming Bruce McAllister hardcover collection THE GIRL WHO LOVED ANIMALS AND OTHER STORIES (Golden Gryphon Press). Bruce’s story “Kin” is a Hugo Award nominee in this year’s Short Story category. “The Boy in Zaquitos” was selected to appear in THE BEST AMERICAN SHORT STORIES 2007, guest edited by…
Between getting married, two honeymoons on two continents, and several simultaneous job deadlines, I’ve been meaning to pimp the following recent books upon their initial release. So without further ado, a few titles that have released within the last couple of months…STAR TREK — CRUCIBLE: KIRK / THE STAR TO EVERY WANDERING (David R. George…
Here’s the cover illustration for the forthcoming Sheri S. Tepper hardcover, THE MARGARETS (HarperCollins/Eos). I’ve seen an advance copy of the book and while I’m really happy with the way the illustration printed on the jacket, unfortunately if you look at the jacket end flap, you won’t know the art is by me. The company…
Here’s the cover for the forthcoming American release of Paul Cornell’s BRITISH SUMMERTIME (MonkeyBrain). I did the illustration and cover design on this one. Paul’s a favorite writer amongst DOCTOR WHO fans, and it’s terrific to see his work getting more and more buzz stateside.
Here’s my wraparound cover illustration for the forthcoming George Alec Effinger collection, A THOUSAND DEATHS. Golden Gryphon Press is the publisher, and it’s their third Effinger collection. This one has a foreword by Mike Resnick and an afterword by Andrew Fox. I believe the book will be available everywhere by June 1st. Pyr editorial director…
I found out while I was in Europe last week that I’m a finalist for two Locus Awards. Wow! So I’m a finalist for Best Artist and for Best Art Book (COVER STORY: THE ART OF JOHN PICACIO). Couldn’t be more pleased, and I’m very grateful for the kind consideration. Thanks so much! It’s been…
Utrecht in the springtime…hard to find a nicer place to be. Traci and I are back home from a nine-day stint in Europe. We spent the first half of the trip with over 22,000 costumed faithful at the 2007 Elf Fantasy Fair in the Netherlands, just outside of Utrecht. I was invited out as a…
