Artist of the Week

This weeks Artist of The Week is John Jude Palencar.

You can see his work gracing the covers of many, many books. Unfortunately he doesn't appear to have a website of his own... the closest I have found to an "official" website is HERE and it doesn't show any pictures. I recommend looking HERE for more examples of his beautiful work... (gotta love Google, eh?) or watch for his art the next time you visit a bookstore. There is a wikipedia entry on him too.

He did the covers for the Mists of Avalon books, and lots of Charles de Lint books, as well as the covers for the Eragon books. I have long admired his work, and I am a little disappointed that he doesn't have more of an online presence than he does. I leave it to you to discover his fine work in your travels.

This guy makes me wish I could paint.
