THE SNOW QUEEN (1988)
Acrylic on Panel - 36” x 24”
Though the cover illustration by Leo and Diane Dillon on the first edition of The Snow Queen, by Joan D. Vinge, was excellent, Warner Books decided to commission me to do a new one.
Perhaps the sequel was in the works, and they wanted a consistent style on the covers of the two volumes. 1/4
DREAMFALL (1996)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 30" x 20"
Science fiction artists are often called upon to portray ideas and themes that have no basis in reality (i.e. time travel, mind control, hyperspace, etc.) in their paintings. 1/3

CATSPAW (1988)
Acrylic on Resin Board - 30" x 20"
Sometimes a cover concept blazes into my internal vision while reading the book, and I know no other will do. Even after finding the best approach, I'll spend days trying to outdo it to make sure my first instinct was correct. 1/4

THE SUMMER QUEEN (1990)
Acrylic on Panel - 36" x 24"
I was glad to learn that Joan Vinge was writing a sequel to The Snow Queen, and even more so when I got a call from Warner Books for the cover assignment. 1/7
THE SNOW QUEEN (1988)
Acrylic on Panel - 36" x 24"
Joan Vinge provided plenty of inspiration in the pages of this book, and in fact, my first response was that there was way too much epic quality to capture in one illustration. 1/3
