A quick shout-out to all the people that make Boskone one of the most pleasant conventions of the year. Thank you, NESFA! It’s always a smoothly run, just-the-right-size convention with a kickin’ art show.Fuzzy iPhone or “borrowed” photos here.
Great to see John Picacio, Artist Guest of Honor. John is a unique voice in the field and dedicated to the vitality of the genre as a whole. [top image]
Michael Whelan had a 40 painting exhibit. An amazing retrospective that started with his college work and chronological built up to brand new paintings.
Omar Rayyan had a knock out out show. Man, that guy just keeps getting better.
Bob Eggleton and Marianne Plumridge where a delight to share dinner with...And made me think, why not have a Boskone panel meet at one of the nearby art museums?
The now-traditional Rick Berry Studio visit was, as tradition will have it, a mellow blast.
These photos, taken by John Picacio, made me laugh because it reminds that I didn’t leave that seat very much throughout the day...Or weekend, for that matter. Charlie Stross on the left and Michael Whelan on the right.
After the con I was able to convince now-Boston artist Scott Bakal to come out and play while the dead-dog party deaded around us.
....and it’s possible this Rick Berry painting followed me home.
