"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the
fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened."

I painted this as a young married woman, trying to make sense of my married name... the painting has lived in my son's home for
many years but he recently sent me a digital photo - thanks, Shannon!

The Good Stuff: Friends' Art
This is one of my favorite Sue Dawe paintings: it's called "Wings" and I actually own the original - I wake every morning to
look at this beautiful oil painting.

I grew up with Vytas Sakalas; he was one of the Lithuanian kids I hung out with in high school. Besides being a fine drummer and
a dear, entertaining soul, he's a brilliant artist. Really, seriously fine artist.

I am delighted to be using a piece of scratchboard art by Denise M. DesLauriers as the basis for my
Moonbird Music logo.

I first met Patrick at a Mythcon in the mid 1980s; he hasn't changed. I figure there's an horrific portrait in his attic. In
addition to his brilliance with a pen, Pat has a wacky, wicked sense of humor.

Cliff teaches illustration at California Statue University, Fullerton. We met online and I was struck by the way he honors and
appreciates his wife; she is the model for this piece. I had the pleasure of meeting them both in person at a faculty art show
in 2009.

graphic novels, television shows and movie scripts.

My friend Paula is a brilliant screenwriter (she wrote the adaptation of Connie Willis's award-winning novel,
Doomsday Book)
but my first awareness of her talent came through the black & white illustrations she drew for
Mythlore.

Rejected October
by Lynn Maudlin
In working on the 2010 calendar for Diana Glyer's book,
Clay in the Potter's Hands,
I created this image for October, of which I am rather fond. But it evoked fearful sensations in the Glyer household so I went
with a more tame approach. Still, I like this, the evocation of fire & season (after all, the photograph is of a kiln with pots
stacked inside) and orange pumpkins...
