I was thrilled to be in the audience for the panel he gave at the 2005 Comic-con with Kinuko Craft. Very inspirational, both of them.Tanjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00026878597132595944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-1156992479152041982006-08-30T22:47:00.000-04:002006-08-30T22:47:00.000-04:00John- I said this on your blog, but I’ll say it ag...John- I said this on your blog, but I’ll say it again. You’ve made a huge impact on the field in a very short time. You’re Hugo is just around the corner!<BR/><BR/>Blaze - I’ll check it out. Thanks for the tip.<BR/><BR/>Mark - Here is the white cover.<BR/>http://www.donatoart.com/sf/fingersolward.html<BR/>Oddly, it was commissioned year sago but the book is only just now completed. The piece has appeared in Spectrum, but the book it is the cover for wont be out for about a year. It’s a nice painting...Maybe not my all-time favorite Donato painting, but I just LOVED that he wanted to throw himself a little curve ball.<BR/><BR/>Dwight - Enjoy! Luckily for us, Donato isn't just great, but, he is also prolific.Irene Gallohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15440976373621593153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-1156947119554372882006-08-30T10:11:00.000-04:002006-08-30T10:11:00.000-04:00I was totally wowed by Donato's photograph......An...I was totally wowed by Donato's photograph...<BR/><BR/>...And after it hit me that it was an illustration, the hairs on my neck stood up.<BR/><BR/>Just breathtaking.

I knew who were, so here I am. <BR/><BR/>I posted the news over on the Frazetta board ( one of Arnie's hang outs ) concerning Donato's win, everyone over there certainly knows his work.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting the painting - gorgeous. - Jeff DotenJeff Dotenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17323331318351157973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983073.post-1156882135337644192006-08-29T16:08:00.000-04:002006-08-29T16:08:00.000-04:00I second that emotion.Hearty congrats, Donato.

Whelan, Eggleton, Maitz, and Burns, amongst others, have brought legendary brilliance, vision and honor to the legacy of this thing. They're not only ambassadors for the art community, but for the entire field of sf/f. Donato's name on this award makes the legacy even richer. I've been thinking his time is "now" for a lot of years, so I'm glad for him that now is finally here.<BR/><BR/>I hope he savors it to its fullest, before he launches off to that next horizon.<BR/><BR/>It's a good day for sf/f.John Picaciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03270031908046307448noreply@blogger.com
