Chesley Awards
August 20th, 2011Publishing my own books has made me a lot more conscious of book covers and forced me to think more about what book buyers like–though I’ll admit this continues to be a deep mystery to me!
At any rate, Tor.com has a post on this year’s winners of the Chesley Awards for science fiction and fantasy artists, just announced at WorldCon. Go on over to Tor.com to check it out. Once you’re there, don’t forget to click on the category header to see all the nominees.
There are a lot of impressive illustrations, but the winner of the “unpublished color” category is one of my favorites, Julie Dillon’s “Planetary Alignment; digital” which is the second image when you click this link.
I’d love to show you the work-in-progress for the new book cover for Limit of Vision, but since I haven’t cleared it with the artist, I suppose I’d better wait.

Julie Dillon is one of the big influences on why I’m an artist today 😀

I remember you showed me some of her work before. She’s terrific!

No accounting for taste 🙂 I found myself immediately drawn to David Hardy’s “Portals to Infinity”; it strongly resembles a quite small framed print I was given by friends many years ago.

I looked at that one and thought, “Hmm, I should write that book.” 🙂
