PARADISE (1989)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 28" x 38"Though it is a very different novel, Mike Resnick's PARADISE recalls for me some of the themes in Ray Bradbury's THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES. 1/4

DESTINY'S ROAD (1991)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 30" x 40"After painting 6 concepts in an effort to distill Larry Niven's novel into one image, I settled on a mountaintop perspective that gave me the chance to offer an aerial view of the road and its environs. 1/7

Today on our podcast Re-Creative Mark and I are joined by the super successful and super-fun science fiction writer, John Scalzi.
It's an entertaining conversation about science fiction, the egotistical nature of writing, and John's hobby, which is music.
But the conversation doesn't end there, as we examine the value of creating art, just for the joy of it.

CW: Long thread/3
Enter *The Bezzle*, which will be published by #TorBooks and #HeadOfZeus on Feb 20: this adventure finds Marty in the company of Scott Warms, one of the many bright technologists whose great startup was bought and destroyed by Yahoo! (yes, they really used that asinine exclamation mark). Scott is shackled to the Punctuation Factory by golden handcuffs, and he's determined to get fired without cause, so he can collect his shares and move onto the next thing.
