(more to come)
During most of the eighties and nineties a group of artists from Tennessee dominated science fiction art shows in the southeastern U.S. For reasons I never quite understood, we came to be known as "The Tennessee Art Mafia." (Maybe it had something to do with my joking threats to break the arms of any talented new artist showing up.)
We all struggled together to get the attention of the publishers, and we pretty much started getting assignments at the same time, which helped cut down on the jealousies that are inevitable in an art career. It was a magical time of bidding wars, awards on top of awards, long BS sessions where the most burning issue was not what to do about terrorism, but whether one should use an airbrush and to what extent. Those days may never return as many of us have moved on to other parts of the country, or are now simply too busy with real life or with keeping a career going in a changing market.
I haven't yet found web sites for all the so called Tennessee Art Mafia, but here are a few web sites you should visit:
I don't do much published work anymore, but here is a link to a recent project:
