This is a portrait of Green (click image to full-view), a character from my short story “Abandon All —-” which appears in The Urban Green Man Anthology, currently out from Edge Science Fiction and Fantasy. I had a lot of fun with Green, both in the design and the characterization. I had in mind a character …
I want to take a moment and talk about La Sirena by John Picacio. La Sirena is an illustration for Picacio’s upcoming Loteria project, it won the 2013 Chesley award for product illustration, and it’s one of the images from his 2014 calendar. You can see it if you go to his kickstarter page and …
