THE SET-UP: poem, movie, now a graphic novel...but what's it all about?
We investigated the life of the great, unsung Joseph Moncure March, the many interpretations of the 1928 text, & the pitfalls of writing about someone else's world as an observer๐ฅ

"What were we discussing before getting so rudely interrupted?"
Arthur Ferrier for Blighty magazine, 1945 #illustration #arthurferrier #blighty
'Matter', 18"x24" digital. Used as the frontispiece for the Easton Press edition of the novel Matter (2008) by Iain M. Banks. Two people in spacesuits fire laser pistols.
'Camouflage', 18"x24" digital. The upper body of a nereid or other sea-dwelling woman. The texture and color of her hair and skin blends in with the underwater scene.
'Clio and Chiron', 36"x24" oil on canvas. Chiron, the wise centaur, is protrayed as having equine legs in front, rather than human legs, as sometimes described. He is holding a shield in his left hand. Clio, the muse of history, is riding side-saddle, wearing an elaborate headdress, and holding a scroll. In the background, a moon rises over pillar-like rock formations.
'Army of the Damned', 24"x36" oil on canvas. A commissioned homage to Frank Frazetta's Conan the Destroyer. Two warriors, a man and a woman, battle skeletons.

The Sci-Fi & Fantasy Art of Patrick J. Jones (Korero Press, 2016) is one of my favorite art books. He is an artist and teacher who does paintings based on speculative fiction and mythology. I tried to pick a broad sample of his work.

I'm seeking an artist to do a digital cover illustration for the standalone ebook edition of my story "Kaiju Agonistes." I'm looking for something in the $300 range (plus, I profit share): stylized, not elaborately realistic. You can see my existing e-book trade dress at: www.scottlynchstore.com

Again I find myself angered by the fact that people seem to believe that all art is supposed to make you happy. Art isnโt meant to make you happy. Itโs not for your happiness. Itโs for your sadness, your anger, your fear, and yes, sometimes, a lot of the time, for your joy.
But not always.
