Nice Review for Sci-Fi Art Now
filed in Book Artwork and Illustrations, Publishing Industry on Nov.24, 2010
Sci-Fi Art Now continues to garner great reviews. The most recent is to be found at io9.
And out of the several hundred images in the book, they chose two of my illustrations to display at their site – always a feather in the cap of an artist. Sadly, enough though they chose my artwork to display, they didn’t mention my name; such is the lot of “creatives” in today’s marketplace, I guess.
Here’s wishing my US friends a Happy Thanksgiving.
=====================
When not gnawing at a turkey leg, Duncan Long will be working as a freelance magazine and book illustrator for HarperCollins, PS Publishing, Pocket Books, Solomon Press, Fort Ross, ISFiC Press, and many other publishers and self-publishing authors.

It happens a lot in visual stuff, Duncan. Cinematographers and CGI creators are never mentioned, and hardly the director, but the star leads are right there on top and on the tip of everyone’s tongue.
This is why I gave the designer of my cover some coverage (!) which he is so surprised about, from the tone of his emails.
The stance of the figure in this picture is perfect. No wonder it got praise. The graffiti is an amazing touch.

It goes with the territory :o)
I had fun with the graffiti. Also – they don’t show up – but I added a couple of cockroaches — I figure those bankety blank creatures will survive any disaster.

I glanced at Sci-fi Art Now, but now that I know what to be looking for I’ll have to actually sit down and go through it.
If io9 didn’t list your name, just email them. They are usually really good at crediting so they shouldn’t have a problem fixing it for you.
