Elric Swords and Roses - Michael Moorcock [190]
support and encouragement provided the right nudge at the right time, and that job energized Picacio to pursue a career as a book cover artist. In spring 2001, he left his day job in the world of architecture and has been a full-time professional illustrator ever since. He’s produced cover art for major franchises, such as Star Trek and The X-Men among others. A three-time Hugo Award nominee for Best Professional Artist, he has won the Locus Award, two International Horror Guild Awards, the Chesley Award, and the much-coveted World Fantasy Award—all in the artist category. More than a decade after that first gig with Moorcock’s Behold the Man, Picacio couldn’t be prouder to work on this sparkling new Del Rey series of Elric editions. He lives in San Antonio, Texas, with his wife, Traci. For more information, please visit www.johnpicacio.com.
