Hey, wow!! Found out this morning that I’m a Locus Award finalist in the Artist category! Hurray! Full list of nominees here. Fellow nominees in the category include Stephan Martiniere, Shaun Tan, Charles Vess, and Michael Whelan. I’m honored to be in their company. Congrats to all nominees in all categories, and a quick shoutout to Dan Simmons and “Muse of Fire” which is one of the finalists for Best Novella. Congrats, Dan. As recently announced on Subterranean Press‘ website, I’ll soon be illustrating the cover for a hardcover edition of “Muse of Fire.”
