A lot has happened this past weekend which contributed to this week's post being late. I'll talk a little about that in a separate post. This week I'm featuring Bruce Pennington. His first cover illustration appeared in 1967 for the New English Library 1970 paperback edition of Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land.

#Art of Fantasy 91: Michael Whelan (Legends)
Today's legend is still active but I'm listing him here because, well, he truly is a living legend, and because his book covers took me on so many fantasy adventures as a kid during the 80s.

#Art of Fantasy 86: Tyler Jacobson

A few days ago on his blog, Howard mentioned that Tyler won the 2016 Chesley Award for Best Cover Illustration for that same novel. So, in celebration of the win and because on closer inspection I … Continue reading #Art of Fantasy 86: Tyler Jacobson
