A Monday

[ksmith]

Saturday evening, I screwed up my courage and emailed Chris McGrath about the ENDGAME cover. Would he offer the original for sale? If not, would it be possible to obtain a print? I already have one original, the cover that Jean Pierre Targete painted for CONTACT IMMINENT(click the lady with the pageboy hairstyle in the upper right hand corner), so I had an idea what the cost might be. Could I afford it? Not really. But I love the image that McGrath created. If it proved available, well, that's my girl up there. She's not exactly as I envision her, but the overall sense of the thing is so right that I can overlook details.

Anyway, I heard back today. There is no original painting, since the cover was done on Photoshop. Chris McGrath will, however, send me a print. I'm happy with that. A little relieved, actually. Because if it had been available...

Yay! Hey, prints are just as good, and a heck of a lot easier on the budget.
