Where I'll be at Worldcon 2007

The folks at Nippon 2007 have just posted the complete program grid. Lots of great panels and events. You can find me at the following on Friday and Saturday at this year's Worldcon...

FRIDAY AUGUST 31

Fri 1400
THE ART OF JOHN PICACIO
A slide presentation of John Picacio's artwork.
(One and all are invited, whether you pop in for a few minutes or stay for the whole show....images move briskly; lots of new work will be presented; and folks are welcome to interject with questions at any time about process, techniques, or anything they can think of. Totally casual.)

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 1

Sat 1000
WHAT EDITORS WANT FROM ARTISTS
Participants: Bob EGGLETON, Jennie FARIES, John PICACIO,
Karen Haber SILVERBERG, Lou ANDERS
Is it realism? A particular color? Many editors return to
the same artists again and again. What sets these
paragons apart? Style? Originality? A distinctive look
or varied approach? Reliable telepathy? (Oh, and must
the artist read the story, or what?)

Sat 1200
AUTOGRAPHING
John PICACIO / Eileen GUNN / Geoffrey A. LANDIS

Sat 1300
DEL REY UPCOMING TITLES
(Betsy Mitchell will run the show and I'll make a brief cameo appearance to talk about ELRIC: THE STEALER OF SOULS by Michael Moorcock, for which I'm doing the cover and interior art. Betsy will present some of my interior art for the book.)

Beyond those events, I'll be at the Chesley Awards (Fri 1600), the Art Show Reception (Fri 1800), and the Hugo Awards festivities (which kick off Sat 1600), and of course in the hotel bar with pals Lou Anders, Paul Cornell, and anyone who wishes to join us. If you're attending, say hi (or "konnichiwa"/"kombanwa") and I look forward to seeing you there!
