JAPAN BLOG: Back from Japan....

Here's some pictures, courtesy Michael Whelan of the big painting jam that was held in Yokohama at the 65th World SF Con. Pictured are Naoyuki Kato-*the* premier Japanese SF illustrator, Nippon US Artist GoH Michael Whelan and, me. I'm really massively jetlagged, so more pix and thoughts soon, only to say this was an amazing, and fantastic experience bringing all our talents into a series of paintings that wowed the crowds. Lots more soon as I cover some of the art I did with friends at the World SF Con.

As to blog paintings, all the ones you saw earlier, as marked for sale at Nippon, sold outright, with Godzilla 1954 selling for a whopping $1200. in an auction, to a Japanese buyer. No higher compliment than that!!
