The art of Bryan Beus

Well, like I promised yesterday, I'm going to feature the winning art from our new winners. I'm starting today with Bryan Beus. Bryan is from Provo, UT and he is a first quarter winner and will be published in volume 23.

These are his three winning entries. The first illustration is entitled "Pinata."


The second illustration is entitled "Clowns."


The third illustration is called "All Grizz."

You'll see art from Bogdan Stetsenko of Kiev, Ukraine tomorrow.

NEWS FROM PAST WINNERS

I was happy to see there was a Writers/Illustrators of the Future blog out there! My story "Blade of the Bunny" was one of the first place stories way back in Volume XV.

Since then, I've sold about 30 short stories, including a sequel to "Blade of the Bunny." "Spell of the Sparrow" came out in late 2004 in Sword & Sorceress XXI, and takes place a while after the bunny tale.

I've also sold two humorous fantasy novels to DAW Books. The first, Goblin Quest, came out in November of 2006. Goblin Hero will be hitting stores this May.
Needless to say, I'm pretty darn excited about both.

Best,
Jim
