A note from our sponser

Hi all,

First, an apology: I’ve been extraordinarily touched by all the folks who have contacted me over the months to inquire about me and the blog. I didn’t mean to stop posting. Had the break been premeditated, I would have stated something here. The fact is, just too much other work got the
best of me.

What is that work? Well, the Tor books art department, of course. But around the time of my last post here I began to take a much more active roll in the Tor.com website. Anyone reading here know I was already pretty deeply involved but, as Pablo Defendini move on to a position at Open Road Media (following his true love, ebooks) I took over the producing role that he held at Tor.com.


It appears that having two jobs doesn't leave much time for blogging. But, I have missed it greatly. So, a stop-gap measure and a hope to slowly return in full.

Tor.com recently launched satellite Facebook and Twitter accounts:

And, you guessed it:

Tor.com Art Department Facebook :: Tor.com Art Department Twitter

This will be a quick hits throughout the day of artwork I like, stuff I’m looking at, and links to what others are doing. It will be officially under the Tor umbrella (unlike this blog) so I wont stray off into the woods like I do here...But I think it'll be a fun to engage artists wherever they are hanging out online and I hope that it slowly kicks me into gear to write more posts here.
