2021 Chesley Awards Nomination Ballots DUE TONIGHT. A few of the MANY stellar works I saw on this year's Long List. *Tough* choices to make. Fun to vote. And inspiring! Get your ballots in! (Not saying I voted for these or not but I think they're dynamite. ;)) cc: @ASFAart

DAY 8: 25 works in 25 days commemorating my 25th Anniversary as a working pro artist. TODAY: 'La Musica' from my #Loteria Grande series. I grew up playing Loteria w/ the card 'El Musico' in my deck. I always thought that card could be something more -- and maybe once was. 1/2

FAQ: Do you have to love a book to do great cover art? A: Not necessarily. But you have to make the art personal, no matter what. It has to be you, as an artist, connecting to the story in a genuine way & sharing w/ the audience. Cover art for Robert Silverberg's SON OF MAN. 8/14
