I asked for the high-resolution artwork for the covers to my Wild Cards stories because I wanted to have them printed and mounted for the office wall.
That’s John Picacio’s work on the left (for the novelette “How To Move Spheres And Influence People” on Tor.com), and Michael Komarck on the right (for the novella “Stripes” in the Wild Cards mosaic novel “Low Chicago”.)
The covers for the Frontlines novels are nice, and the ones for the Palladium Wars books are grand and epic, but the Wild Cards covers I’ve gotten so far are flat-out amazing. It’s surreal to see my characters brought to life by some of the most talented illustrators in the business.
Speaking of Wild Cards, there’s a new story up on Tor.com. This one has a Picacio cover as well. It’s called “Naked, Stoned, and Stabbed”, and it was written by Bradley Denton.
