Kevin Hearne: Looking to commission cover art from a real artist, no AI. Retro sci-fi space cowboy stuff, nice and pulpy! If that’s your jam or the jam of an artist in your Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, I’d love to see some of your work. Thanks!

Sounds interesting! Love some pulp and retro sci fi :-) This is some of my work; colourful halftones and painted textures ahoy! more at carlydraws.com happy to share too, my stuff might be slightly on the weirder/spooky side of pulp!

Oohhh thank you! Added to my list

Thanks Kevin!

I love that rocket one so much I am going to FLIP MY DESK

😂 ahaha, that is high praise, thank you! But don't evict desk Godzilla! It was an experiment in painting mixed with crunchy halftones. Love a retro rocket. It's in my US shop! or mini prints from my UK shop ;-) hashtag shameless promotion!

Hashtag just bought a poster to hang over my desk!

hashtag thank you very much 😍 I hope you and Godzilla enjoy it!

this exchange has helped me solve the open wall space behind my office computer, thanks to you both

Paging @thebeardlyben.bsky.social, who did this stellar cover for me back in 2017

That is RAD

Hey! I'm available with good prices and have been working on some very retro stylings recently. I specialise in highly detailed line art and fun layouts, if you're interested let me know!

Heck yeah, ok to shoot you a DM?

Of course fire away! :)

Kanaxa did our covers for Alex Ack’s steampunk and Michael Merriam’s Weird West novella and she’s great to work with! kanaxa.com

I do enjoy retro sci-fi… (And I can work in color, too. Those are just in the house style of WarPigs Brewing…) octophant.us

DUDE this is rad (adding to my growing list here)

DARKNESS OVER HAYHOLT (2016) Acrylic on Gessobord - 24" x 36" When DAW contacted me 35 years ago about illustrating the cover for a high fantasy novel by Tad Williams, an amazing relationship began with THE DRAGONBONE CHAIR. 1/4

Looks like you've already got a great list of prospects here, but FWIW, as a fan of both Iron Druid and the Ink series, I'd be delighted to help out. More images at www.duncaneagleson.com (No "AI," ever, thanks.)

Lovely work!

Thanks!

Your work is fabulous and while I already have someone lined up for this project, I’ll certainly reach out in the future!

Thank you kindly!!! I look forward to it!!

Hey. Putting my hat in ring 00

Thank you!

I can do space and cowboy, though not necessarily retro, but I thought I'd throw my hat in. (Also hi Kevin! It's been a while. 🙂)

Hi Cody!! That’s beautiful stuff I don’t recall seeing before (it’s been a while) and while it’s not quite the feel I need for this project, I’m adding you to my list of artists!

Hello and thanks so much! Indeed, much new stuff. Not quite pulpy, but I do love that classic sci-fi cover look. There's just not as much of it these days as there should be. Keep me in mind, it'd be a pleasure working with you again!

You should check out GMB Chomichuk! He has a ton of retro and pulpy SF work. www.gmbchomichuk.ca/store

Whoa dang! Thanks!

You're welcome!

Hi! I am very much into old school, pulp sci-fi, so allow me to throw my hat into the ring.

Oh wow, that looks great! I have someone I’m working with already but will add to to the list of options for future projects!

Thank you! I look forward to it.

I think @monkeyminion.bsky.social is the one you want - they did a whole campaign of retro rocketship themed pins and they have a real great pulp quality to some of their works

Aw, thank you!! I’ve really been leaning into the pulpy goodness recently with my Blast-O series, too.
