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!)

A Craft of Love...Lovecraft pt 2

I have some art in a brand new book called A LOVECRAFT RETROSPECTIVE: THE ART OF H.P.LOVECRAFT. It's a HUGE tome, I kid you not. Anyway, I did part of an interview with the folks at io9.com and you can see my art and some of the other gorgeous stuff in there. Here I was in 1979, unable to take my eyes off the work of H.R. Giger's ALIEN designs...and now I am in the same book as him. Wow. Cool. Here's the link:

The "outtakes" of the interview are here too with a pic of the book itself:

It's funny, SFdom has a love/hate thing with horror. I'm CONSTANTLY quizzed as to why I would enjoy doing such often weird and grisly things. Hey, it's FUN!
