Unrelated to art, but I wanted to throw up this Statesman link.
Many of the people who read this blog (including the owner) know Josh from the old Austin BBS days, and wish him the best of luck.
Edited to add: I forgot that I also wanted to link to this LAT piece about Tim Powers and On Stranger Tides, which will apparently be the basis for the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie (if there is one). Powers came to a couple of Armadillocons, and has always been nothing but kind to the Nova Express gang; if anyone deserves huge Hollywood money, he’s on the short list.
I will see that picture in my nightmares.
