Name:
Location: New England, United States

I am a Hugo award-winning fantasy/SF artist who works on both publishing projects and film concept work(such as Jimmy Neutron and most recently, The Ant Bully) but I have a passion for landscape work, small paintings and exploring the properties of paint. This blog will mostly showcase my "painting-for-the-day" as kind of a personal voyage. I'll also be inserting sketches,photos and ideas of projects I am working on, that I can, when I can, so look for those every so often(usually as paint is drying!)

BUSY!

I just finished a cover to a new NESFA Press book of Poul Anderson's. I got to paint a classic image from a somewhat outdated-science story(but no less entertaining and good!) that takes place on Jupiter's surface, called CALL ME JOE. It's a fun, colorful image I'll post soon!

In the meantime I am doing a CD cover to the 60's British band Downliner Sect. My friend of them all is bassist Keith Grant-Evans who's just a great guy who knows how to tell a good story. He's got a living history of British rock in him, it's alot of fun. I'm doing the cover to their new CD and, some inside art as well. And, I met Keith many years ago thanks to Brian Lumley, who, by coincidence, I am doing the cover art to his new book for Subterranean Press!! All this has to be done this month. So posts may be uneven. What did I last say, that posts would be "sparse" and then, bang, I post one a day for like 10 days?

I'll also have some stock images in a new "Dragon" book by a UK publisher. Fun book that came out of the blue, I'll be one of many in the book. This is not, incidently, the Dragon "How To" book I am doing for another publisher there! More on all that as it develops!!

Also got some important business taken care of this week, as in "paperwork". I hate paperwork but it's something at some point we all have to get out of the way!

More soon, and I promise, some smaller paintings.
