Spectrum 21 Artist Copy

Thief of War.  My first piece for Irene Gallo and Tor.com.  It was so much fun to work on!  I'm very happy to see it get some recognition from the art community.

A nice spread of Tor.com illustrations/artists.  Left Page:  Richard Anderson.  Top Right:  Me!  Bottom Left Right Page:  Tran Nguyen.  Bottom Right Right Page:  Richie Pope.

My Princess of Mars piece and Swashbuckle Dom on the same page.  With the George Lucas Museum of Narrative Art and this, who knew my mug would be getting such recognition this year! :-)

In very good company!  Here again with two really awesome pieces by my friend Tyler Jacobson.  So thrilled to share the page with this guy!  One hell of a painter and definitely one of the nicest guys in the biz.

I just received my artist copy of Spectrum 21 in the mail and it is AWESOME!  Beutiful pages, large images, wonderful design, a great year in review,  and of course TOP NOTCH illustration.  While I was sad to see the annual passed down from Cathy and Arnie Fenner it looks to be in great hands with John Flesk from Flesk publishing.  Outstanding job John!  I am really looking forward to what you have in store for the future.

I am blown away every year by the sheer number of amazing entries that are included, so I am always grateful and consider myself extremely lucky if I get anything in at all.   Imagine my surprise when I found out that THREE of my works had been chosen this year.   I am honored to say the least!

For those of you that own a copy of the annual my work can be found on pages 181 & 212.  You can also check out the pieces that were selected for inclusion on my website at the links below...
