]]> <![CDATA[Stephan Martiniere: The Future Will Be Bio-Mechanical]]> I like Martiniere's covers with one little reservation. His ships and buildings look fantasic and very possible but uses them over and over. I'm pretty sure I've spotted the same ship from "Cosmonaut Keep" on at least two other covers.
I'm reminded of those mockup/rendering programs architects use to show what a building will look like in use. *click* there's a potted plant *click* there's a taxicab *click* a robot *click* an atmospheric processing plant.

]]> <![CDATA[Stephan Martiniere: The Future Will Be Bio-Mechanical]]> Martiniere did the cover art for my first two novels from Tor (MAINSPRING and ESCAPEMENT), and I have to say they were deeply awesome.

]]> <![CDATA[Stephan Martiniere: The Future Will Be Bio-Mechanical]]> Well, The Jewels of Aptor was Delany's first novel, it has a kind of iconic pulp SF cover from that era, and it's a pulp SF cover that's got a hint of fantasy to it as well. And the storyline of Delany's novel is kind of SF mixed with a fantastical element. Which we like. And somehow referring to SF art as "the jewels of Aptor" seems appropriate...to us! LOL!

]]> <![CDATA[Stephan Martiniere: The Future Will Be Bio-Mechanical]]> This Delany fan loves the title of your guys' column.

Yatta!

]]> <![CDATA[Stephan Martiniere: The Future Will Be Bio-Mechanical]]> @Atomische: It is named after the novel, yes. You'll have to ask Jeff and Ann why they chose that name!

]]> <![CDATA[Stephan Martiniere: The Future Will Be Bio-Mechanical]]> Does this new column have anything to do with Samuel R. Delany's novel The Jewels of Aptor?
