The Strange Horizons fund drive, with member card art by me
Filed Under: Photography, SF Publishers
Strange Horizons, one of the internet’s longest running professional online speculative fiction magazines, is completely funded by donations from readers like you and me. They consistently publish award-winning, interesting work. Without our help, they would not be able to do so.
Donors receive prizes and gifts in addition to a nifty membership card with artwork by a different artist each year. This year, the editor-in-chief approached me about doing a photograph for the membership card. I have given them a Roundbottom-style image called “The Dissection.” It looks exactly like it sounds. The only way you can See that image in all its glory is to donate to Strange Horizons! If you’re a Roundbottom completest, send money now.
This is, by the way, the “secret” image and photoshoot that I was referring to a while back. I’m very happy with the way it turned out. In case you’re wondering, the beautiful model is my wife. The woman holding the scalpel is just some person I dragged in off the street for the shoot. I kid! You can catch a glimpse of the image over on the 2008 fund drive page. Go check it out and let me know what you think. I’ve had it on my desktop as wallpaper for weeks, and I really dig it.
Speaking of Desktop Wallpaper…
Is that something any of you would be interested in me making from some of my photography? If you want wallpaper, just let me know what image and what resolution, and I will make it for you and post it on the site. I’ll probably include my name and site URL in the lower right hand corner, just as a little bit of advertising for me, but leave it otherwise unadorned. Post your thoughts in the comments, or email me directly.
