This is very, very cool news.Robert Wiener, publisher of Donald Grant Books, has organized an exhibit of Jeff Jones paintings for this year’s World Fantasy Convention. Nearly forty paintings gathered from a number of collectors will be on display.
John Picacio had an idea to do some kind of appreciation of Jeff Jones at the convention. I offered to help and then immediately dropped the ball, I’m really glad Robert Wiener didn’t. This will surely be a highlight of the convention.
I tried to pull a quote out of Spectrum’s Grand Master essay on Jeff Jones but it’s really best read in its entirety, it is a loving tribute to a great artist with a tragically complicated personal history. If you have a copy of Spectrum 13, check it out.
