Toward Ecosophy

I've noticed that my readership includes a lot of very talented people, in a lot of different forms of art and craft. That was what came to mind when the publisher of my tentacle novels, Shaun Kilgore of Founders House Publishing, came to me with a quandary. The cover artist who illustrated most of my Haliverse novels, Matt Forsyth, got a job doing art for a video game company (with the book covers as part of the portfolio that landed him there); the artist who illustrated the last two novels in the Haliverse, Melrose Dowdy, is booked for months ahead at this point -- and Shaun is gearing up to publish the next two volumes of the Vintage Worlds series, and needs a cover artist. 

So, dear readers, I thought of you. 

This is a paying gig, but that also means it calls for a serious work ethic and some good solid artistic skills. If you're up for that, though, this could be a serious break for the right person. Please take a good hard look at old-fashioned pulp and paperback science fiction covers, since that's the period of the genre that inspires the stories in the Vintage Worlds series; take an extra close look at the work of great classic SF painters like the inimitable Frank R. Paul; and consider giving it a shot.

If you're interested, please contact Shaun Kilgore via the Founder's House Publishing contact page, which you can find here. Mind you, if you'd like to post a link to some of your work in the comments to this post, I'm sure I'm far from the only person who would be interested in ooh'ing and aah'ing over it. The world needs more classic SF pulp cover art, and you could be just the person to provide it.
