Threads of Time - Pearson Publishing
The illustration on the right was commissed by Pearson Publishing to accompany a short story by C. J. Cherryh.
This piece, one of 7, represents the final ‘one-way’ time gate at the end of the universe, beyond which remains a mystery to the well-heeled time travellers of the story. “The Threads of Time” revisits the Time Gates introduced in Cherryh’s 1976 novel Gate of Ivrel.
C. J. Cherryh is best known for her science fiction and fantasy novels. “Cassandra” won her a Hugo award, was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Short Story and the Locus Award for best short story, and in 1999 was named as one of Locus Magazine’s 50 best science fiction short stories of all time. Additionally, “The Scapegoat” was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novella and “Gwydion and the Dragon” was nominated for the World Fantasy Award for Best Novella.

That was a very pleasant surprise. Thank you!

Year Zero - New Scientist magazine
This weeks illustration was published February 2008 on the cover of New Scientist Magazine in London. The article in question deals with new theorys on the concept of time travel and just how far back we can theoretically travel - which would only be the exact time at which the time machine was created.
To sum it up simply, if time travel does become possible, 2008 may be the destination of choice. New Scientist writer Michael Brooks gets ready to receive visitors from the future.

Works in Progress - Oil on Canvas
Attached is a step by step pic of a few of the first paintings that were created, in progress. The left 2 thumbs and lowest are from the development of Shadow of Evil, and the top right is ‘ReVisions’ being realized.
As much as we enjoy the commercial aspect of our illustrations, the timelines rarely afford the luxury of commiting our ideas to canvas. This is somthing we hope to change. Part of our reason for moving to Guadalajara was to create a lifestyle that facilitates more traditional work and hopefully allow us the luxury of making an almost complete shift back from digital to all analogue. :-)
We are also looking forward to our first public showing at WorldCon in Denver this summer.
Chris and I are jumping on a bus in about 4 hours for a little R’n'R on the Pacific Coast beach resort of Puerto Vallarta - so join us in having a great long weekend (Cinco De Mayo) no matter where you find yourself this weekend!
No commentsLunar Smackdown - WWE Magazine
This was a real scream to work on (the fun kind of scream) and was commissioned by WWE Magazine. We started the piece in Vancouver, worked on in the lounge of Mexico City Airport while waiting for our connecting flight, and ultimately finished on our 3rd day here in Guadalajara.
The article is - as I am sure you can guess - about the wicked acrobatic possibilites of a WWE Lunar Smackdown. The illustration also received a television spot.
Incidently, Bob Mould, with whom we worked with on his ‘Body of Song’ album cover art, did a stint writing for the WWE. And now for a shameless plug…. you can pick up his new album ‘District Line’ on Anti Records.
No commentsOil on Canvas - The Jesus Machine
Chris and I have been working on creating fine art paintings over the last year, and we are developing quite a catalogue. The 2 latest paintings have just been completed. This piece is oil on canvas, and was featured on the cover of Focus Magazine, Greece, and was also featured as a 2 page interior spread by Focus Magazine Italy to accompany an article on The Singularity.
This painting/illustration was inspired by a full page illustration we did a month earlier for New Scientist Magazine in London on the same subject.
