Man, the NESFAns are like clockwork with their newsletters. The latest one includes this cool little full-color flyer pimping next year’s Boskone 47 in February. They used my cover illustration for George Zebrowski’s MACROLIFE and I couldn’t help but smile when I saw it. Whomever is responsible for designing this flyer — great job! 🙂…
Crazy good news for Mark Chadbourn’s AGE OF MISRULE: BOOK 3 — ALWAYS FOREVER! The book has sold out its first printing before it even hits the stores! Here’s what that means — bookstores liked what they saw from the first two books in the trilogy and they have confidence this third book is a…

Yesterday, you saw the May 2009 cover of China’s FANTASY ART Magazine. This morning, I received a PDF of my interview pages inside the mag. Above are four of the feature’s eight pages. FANTASY ART says it’ll be about three months before I see a physical copy of the mag. That’s a mighty slow boat,…

Happy to see this, as it’s always been tough for anthologies to survive, even…
No secret that Jeff Ford is one of my favorite authors. I’ve done covers for several of his books, including the wraparound cover art for THE EMPIRE OF ICE CREAM (pictured above). For years, we’ve talked about collaborating on a lush, illustrated book of his much-loved, Fountain Award-winning story “The Annals of Eelin-Ok”. I’d love…

It’ll be featured in the forthcoming massive art book KNOWING DARKNESS: ARTISTS INSPIRED BY STEPHEN KING. ‘SALEM’S LOT is one of the seminal vampire novels of the modern era, and a book this famous comes “pre-loaded” in the audience’s imagination with a lot of vampire visual…
