Impressive work! (And that is an understatement!). I love the backstories as well. Really amazing work!
Thanks again for taking the time to look.
I have just read this thread, Thank You for sharing your talent, My eyes likes what they be seeing, Congrats!!!
8 pages of congratulations and none more deserving. I love too see this thread keep growing. It makes me happy, don't ask me why, but it does. Maybe because of all the kind people who like to give praise rather the receive it. Anyway your the man man
So glad this thread was revived! I've loved seeing your incredible work and reading your interesting commentary on it, and on many other topics. You are not only talented but generous for sharing with us.
I’m not quite sure how this happened, but I’ve somehow amassed 5,000 posts in my brief tenure here at the forum (hopefully some of you got some good chuckles out of some of my posts). I thought I’d share some of the covers I did for The New Republic early in my career. The first three were done in magic marker and coloured pencil in 1986, the year after I graduated from art school. A fun thing about the Ferdinand Marcos cover was that it got used as an illustration in New York Magazine in an article about The New Republic shortly after the issue hit the stands.
The following ones were done in acrylic paint because I had the notion that art directors would take paintings more seriously than coloured pencil drawings. I was quite tickled when someone on the local ABC News on Channel 7 in New York held up my Kurt Waldheim cover on camera.
It’s subtle, but the cloud above Pat Buchanan’s head suggests a bicornes worn by Napoleon Bonaparte.
I did a few more covers for them into the ’90s (not shown).
Fast forward to 2024. Here's the cover for the current issue of Weird Tales No. 368 and our first joint venture with Blackstone, a cosmic horror novel by Jonathan Maberry, NecroTek. Both covers were done digitally. I illustrated and designed both covers (and interiors).

My guess is a combination of pipe smoking and the internet.
I think you get to choose your "title" now. Get on it, man!
You're not the only great artist on this site. I recently did a family portrait.
