Sometimes my instincts are correct. In 1996, while the managing editor of Mojo Press, I hired neophyte John Picacio to design and illustrate his first book, Michael Moorcock's [book:Behold the Man: 30th Anniversary Edition]. Ten years later, I was rewarded with Cover Story: The Art of John Picacio, the first collection of the Hugo nominated and World Fantasy Award winning artist's work. This full color, over-sized gorgeous book (fittingly enough with an introduction by Moorcock) more than showcases Picacio's amazing covers and illustrations, it includes commentary from the artist about the methods and thoughts behind his creations.
