Minutiae Man encouraged me to post about this here. I was hired to Pocket Books to design a TOS-era space station for a new book series. You can read a bit about it here: http://www.psiphi.org/cgi/upc-db/ (See the Dec 27 update)

Congrats mate! It's definatly more detailed than what you usually produce, hopefully the cover will do it justice.

COool. I look forward to seeing it.

Man, Pocket REALLY needs new cover artists: the cover for the newest SCE book has the very worst cover I've ever seen on a Trek book.
Seriously, it's a horrible composition of a Sabre and Steamrunner (obviously taken from the publicity shots we've all seen) rendered in VERY sloppy oil paint.

The Pocket Books editor, Marco Palmieri, is a fan of the Starfleet Museum, so was familiar with my work. I had to draw the station with more detail than I usually do, since I knew from the outset that it was going to be the basis of a computer model. I've seen the artwork for the cover: it's a render by Doug Drexler and looks pretty cool.

Wow, congratulations. That's a nice design, and I look forward to seeing it on a bookshelf soon. [Smile]

I'd seen the interview between you and someone else about that (can't remember where), just forgot to congratulate you. Maybe I was just trying to get over my insane jealousy... [Big Grin]

That little bit of green starting under my fingernails is just the jealousy starting to kick in. Pay it no mind.

That's a great station design though. Superfly.

And Jason, you're right about that cover. Wow. Maybe I should send them a sample packet... I may actually have a prayer if that's what they're going with these days.

Woot! Congradulations! Someone at Pocket Books must be a fan of the Museum. Nice design work too, as usual.

As for recent cover art, I thought the artwork on Ex Machina was very nice.

Well, congrats to you as well!

I will promise to try to remember all the little people I stepped on to reach my present exalted position.

WD Masao!

Just a little tangent... that Strange New Worlds contest... what catagorey is "Speculations"?
