I wasn't at all surprised, when I found out who the artists were, since I've long admired their work. And I think you're right -- even though this book was written for young adults, it can also appeal to adults. Of course, I'm referring to the story itself just as much as the cover.<br /><br />I fet so sad when I found out, Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-20804278128037117162012-07-01T23:07:25.048-04:002012-07-01T23:07:25.048-04:00Love the art deco influence in this!

The conventions I went to down here were small, usually held in somebody's house,..except for one I went to in Miami Beach. It was held in a hotel meeting room. That was the only fairly large one I went to. All the big cons are always held up north -- in cities like New York,, Chicago, Boston... In fact, there's a large con to be Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-39940903357339076072012-07-01T14:01:33.628-04:002012-07-01T14:01:33.628-04:00Hey, Steph!

And how ironic -- I included a Narnia illustration done by the Dillons, in this post.<br /><br />I like to not only feature new books, but older ones as well. You can find some great illustrations on those! That's why I love Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-54782745898558208292012-07-01T12:50:52.959-04:002012-07-01T12:50:52.959-04:00Hi Maria - Science Fiction Conventions can really ...Hi Maria - Science Fiction Conventions can really be fun. I am an alumni and still live near SUNY Stony Brook and every year they have a large convention called ICON. I think I attended every one of these from 1986 through 1993 and have attended about half of them since. Unfortunately I missed it this year. It is really a great convention. I also attended a Creation Convention in NYC back in theBrian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-64787745952640487022012-07-01T00:18:47.136-04:002012-07-01T00:18:47.136-04:00The Pegasus is incredible.

You manage to find such unique covers that I have not seen before. These two are a powerful designing duo.<br />Thanks for your lovely complements, but I am still changing things.

And, of course, I also love reading these two genres. <br /><br />I haven't gone to that many conventions -- just a couple of small ones here in Miami. They were Star Trek conventions (TOS -- the only version I'm interested in).

It has been a few years but I used to attend a few science fiction conventions that had art shows. Many artists who produced the genre's book cover art participated. The works were often awe inspiring.Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-50170523748609678462012-06-30T18:07:41.199-04:002012-06-30T18:07:41.199-04:00Hey, Claire!
