New art came in, got sent off to be framed, and returned today. #michaelwhelan #dragonriderofpern
Pern was much more my sister's thing. I read them because they were more Whelan covers, but just the once and I really couldn't tell you anything about them 🤷🏼 Still though, another 5+ reads written by a woman #AnneMcCaffrey #MichaelWhelan #booksky
A girl I knew in HS was reading a paperback of Dragon Prince, and between her description and the Whelan cover I was curious & got hooked. Wound up picking up the Dragon Token & Skybowl hardcovers as they came out. #MelanieRawn #MichaelWhelan #booksky (5 books you've read by a woman author)

Photo of the 'King of the Dead' record by Cirith Ungol, featuring some masterful Michael Whelan fantasy cover art.
Commencing the standard Sunday 15 hour drawing session with some of the most legendary Side A material on a metal record - 'Atom Smasher', 'Black Machine', Master of the Pit', 'King of the Dead' back to back...Unbeatable stuff. #vinyl #heavymetal #cirithungol #michaelwhelan

80s paperback book cover Nifft the Lean by Michael Shea. Two giant mummies guard a ruined gate while a man screams nooooooooooooooo
Another classic favorite, "Nifft the Lean" is gritty and grotesque horror-fantasy, with a perfect anti-hero in Nifft, master thief. I owned a copy with this incredible cover by the incomparable @michaelwhelan.bsky.social, but regrettably sold it years ago. #sword&sorcery #fantasy #michaelwhelan

I have an ancient 70s #Stormbringer #paperback with this #MichaelWhelan cover. #Elric #Moorcock #fantasy #swordandsorcery And all the other books in the series from that time. My Whelan #hardback art book from about 35 years ago has this painting in it too. Great stuff. 🗡💀🔥

Interior illustration from the dark Tower by Michael whelan
Found these old Plume, trade paper back nicely illustrated editions. We sold so many of this book when I worked at dark Carnival in Berkeley. I never read it. Maybe it’s time. #thedarktower #stephenking #michaelwhelan
Fascinating thread for a captivating piece of art from #MichaelWhelan circa 1982...
The classic Del Rey cover art for Isaac Asimov's 'The Naked Sun', painting by @michaelwhelan.bsky.social Plainclothes detective Elijah Bailey holds up an arrow for inspection, while a robot holding a bow stands behind him in the shadows.
The classic Del Rey cover art for Isaac Asimov's 'The Robots of Dawn', painting by @michaelwhelan.bsky.social Among an alien landscape of windswept trees, the very-robotic Giskard stands poised in a very expressive and un-robotic posture, suggesting something is different about this robot.
Spent a week or two distractedly working thru Caves of Steel, finished it yesterday & then read The Naked Sun ( #IsaacAsimov can be such a fast read). Started today on Robots of Dawn. #booksky #MichaelWhelan #artsky

Yesterday i found this full cover of To Green Angel Tower, the longest fantasy book ever published. This cover is amazingly detailed. The Sithi's armors are unique and beautiful... Read Memory, Sorrow and Thorn!
