Changes in thinking...
Back from The World Fantasy Con in Saratoga, NY. Lots of fun and, friends I haven't seen in ages. Really a good time!! I'll post some piccies soon!
I seem to enjoy fantasy and, darker work-horror, moreso than I enjoy space related work. Note my fixation with Lovecraftian work. I was once a "Fellow" of the International Association of Astro Artists. I dropped my membership and "Fellowship" in it awhile ago and, realized I haven't missed anything. I never understood what a "Fellowship" was anyway. One of my "FAQ's" is "Why did you stop painting space art?". Largely, because the computer has truly replaced the human hand w/brush in this regard. Computer/digital art truly is amazing, and, frankly, Hubble telescope pix and Cassini and all, have just put most "space art" to shame. That said, space is still a nice backdrop to use for sci-fi imagery...and I'll still do that anyway.
Speaking of, a couple of nice work-ups for some covers soon!
