Mystery of Grace

I love the creative triad that is Charles de Lint, John Jude Palencar, and Peter Lutjen. For years now, these have often been among my favorite Tor covers.

Ugh. That painting is incredible. SO happy I got to see it up close and personal, thanks again, Irene.

Palencar is definitely one of those artists who can make me come to a screeching halt when walking down a bookstore aisle. His work is always incredible. And I think he is at his best when he does de Lint covers. Perhaps this is because I think de Lint is an amazing talent as well and having both of their creative works in one package like that feels like having your cake and eating it too.

I bought my first de Lint book (THE ONION GIRL) just because it was so pretty.

He'd been recommended before, but at any given time I've got a list of about thirty books or authors I intend to read. What pushed him to the top of the list was the beautiful, beautiful cover art.

Shallow, I know. But hey, I got a good book out of it, so I'm not sorry.
