LOVECRAFT'S NIGHTMARE "B" - MICHAEL WHELAN - KEYRING
Since 1980, Michael Whelan has been one of the world's premier
fantasy and science fiction artists. He is currently working full time
on his fine art paintings, but in the past three decades he has created
more than 350 book and album covers for authors and artists like Isaac
Asimov, Anne McCaffrey, Sir Arthur C. Clarke, Stephen King, the
Jacksons, Sepultura, and MeatLoaf. His clients have included every major
U.S. book publisher in addition to such diverse companies as National
Geographic, Roadrunner Records, and The Franklin Mint.
A graduate of San Jose State University with a BA in Painting and a
President's Scholar, Michael Whelan went on to attend the prestigious
Art Center College of Design also in California, but he dropped out to
accept his first book cover assignment. The most honored artist in his
field, Whelan has won an unprecedented 15 Hugo Awards (Science Fiction's
Oscar), 3 World Fantasy Awards, and the SuperHugo as the Best Artist of
the last 50 years. This year he was inducted into the Science Fiction
Hall of Fame as the first living artist to be named to the small but
highly distinguished company, which includes such luminaries as H.G.
Wells, Jules Verne, Ray Bradbury, Steven Spielberg, Rod Serling, and
Ursula K. Le Guin. The readers of LOCUS magazine (for SF insiders) have
named him Best Professional Artist 27 times in their annual poll,
including 2009. In addition to countless Best of Show and Best Artist
Awards from SF and Fantasy conventions and regional art shows, Michael
was named a Grand Master by the Spectrum Annual of the Best in
Contemporary Fantastic Art. His other awards include a Gold Medal from
the Society of Illustrators, a Vargas Award, and a Grumbacher Gold
Medal.
Michael has had 4 art books published as well as numerous limited
edition prints, posters, calendars, and licensed products such as
greeting cards, t-shirts and sculptures. He is a member of the Graphic
Artists Guild and the Society of Illustrators in New York City, and he
is an Adviser to the Masters in Fine Arts program at Western Connecticut
State University in Danbury, Connecticut.
The stunning color and composition of Michael Whelan's illustrations
and his dedication to bringing an author's words to life have brought
him fans throughout the world. Now that he is devoting all his time to
his own visions, he has found many new collectors in the fine art world.
His "gallery" paintings of his personal work are still infused with his
signature "sense of wonder," but they are rich in symbolism and offer
many layers of meaning to be explored.
