I'm pleased to report that the line-up for the SciFI Art Now book I'm editing for ILEX (see previous entry) in terms of submissions so far is looking absolutely great.

If you're one of the artists I contacted before and expressed interest, there's still some time to get work in. If you didn't get it, or you're seeing this for the first time and want the full information about the project, drop me an email via johnfreeman6-scifiartnow@yahoo.co.uk with SciFi Art Now in the subject header. The chapter headings are subjects such as Sirens of SciFi, Spacecraft and Spacenauts, Aliens, Steampunk - which, strangely, I've not had a lot of entries for - and more.

While there may be some changes in the line up by the time it gets to print, the artists who've sent work so far include (in alphabetical order):

Mo Ali, Chris Ashkam, Martin Baines, Mark Beer, Bob Bello, Max Bertolini, Conor Boyle, Nickolas Brokenshire, Al Davison, Paul Drummond, Bob Eggleton, Gary Erskine, Nelson Evergreen, Fran Gonzales, Nicholas Gracey, Jim Hatama, Stephen Hickman, John Higgins, Frank Hong, Syd Jordan, Kevin Levell, Duncan Long, Don Maitz, John Maybury, Bill McConkey, Iain McLumpha, Tony McGee, Metaphrog, Jeff Michelmann, Ron Miller, Lee Moyer, Nemons, Mike Nicoll, Keith Page, Amy Pearson, Miguel Angel Perez, Tim Perkins, Gobson Quarter, Chris Reynolds, Rodrigo Diaz Ricci, Stev Sampson, Andrew Skilleter, SMS, Tony Suleri, Dylan Teague, Oliver Wetter, J.K. Woodward and Micha Zimmerman.

There are several more in the mix but I don't want to jinx their involvement until I have their art in my mandibles... As you can see, it's a great cross section of comics artists and illustrators.
