Blog article (4 of 4) >

Peter Andrew Jones was responsible for the cover art for Benford's debut book. In it, a spaceship uses a fuel that leaves yellow residue in circular shapes as it heads for a crack in a large block of rock amidst the infinity of the universe. Apparently, there are inscriptions in red on the floating rock, or an unknown content to be explored. Benford was a more prized author in academic research than in fiction, and it is a shame that scientific articles cannot be illustrated by such a creative artist as PAJ. Surely science would be even more beautiful.

Benford's debut comes with the publication of "The Scarred Man", which although written in 1969 was not published until 1970. His first book was "In the Ocean of Night" (1977), the first of 7 texts that make up his "Galactic Center Saga". He has a twin brother, Jim Benford, with whom he has collaborated on science fiction stories. Gregory is co-publisher of the science fiction fanzine "Void" and classifies himself as an atheist.

Benford's contributions as a professor and researcher have earned him more than 200 scientific publications, both theory and experiments in the fields of astrophysics and plasma physics, and he has received support from agencies such as NSF, NASA, AFOSR, DOE, and others. He is a permanent advisor to NASA, DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) CIA and a UK cryonics and cryopreservation advocacy group. Benford also serves on the board of directors and steering committee of the Mars Society and is a member of Alcor. He is a longtime resident of Laguna Beach, California. In 2006 he created and develops Genescient Corporation. Genescient, a biotechnology company.

Gregory Benford was born on January 30, 1941 in Mobile, Alabama. He is an American science fiction author and astrophysicist (Professor Emeritus in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of California, Irvine), and a contributing editor to “Reason” magazine.

Benford grew up in Robertsdale and Fairhope. In 1963 he received a bachelor in Physics and the Phi Beta Kappa honor – one of the oldest and most prestigious in the USA – at the University of Oklahoma, in Norman. He earned an M.A. and a Ph.D. from the University of California, San Diego, in 1965 and 1967 respectively. Also in 1967, he married Joan Abbe (who died in 2002), with whom he had two children.

The big secret to succeeding in your mission is to destroy the enemy spaceships before the puzzle-solving can proceed, as while viewing the 2D layout, the action in the 3D world continues. Otherwise, the player becomes an easy target for his enemies.

There is a clear inspiration in William Gibson's Neuromancer, as the developers of Interphase were allowed to use concepts from this book that also got a game version.

Interphase was ranked the 38th best game of all time by Amiga Power magazine.

As Chad progresses, he allows Kaf-E to progress safely without being killed by traps or intercepted by security, until she reaches the heart of Dreamtrack's headquarters. Of course, allowing Chad´s own spaceship to be destroyed or Kaf-E's safety to be compromised results in the game ending. A map is used to navigate the route through the systems, with plenty of information readily available.

Blog article (3 of 6) >

Interphase gameplay is about piloting his spaceship, equipped with cannons and missiles, through 3D tunnels (a cyberpunk environment) or open spaces, and fighting every enemy that appears, as they are a threat to the player's ability to connect to the system, and which ones must be defeated. To disable real-world devices, 3D objects – representing objects such as security doors and cameras – must be destroyed. In addition, a 2D sketch map contains puzzles that Chad must solve, which also determines which objects must be deactivated and in an specific order.

The player is Chad, a Dreamer, who discovers that subliminal messages are being inserted into DreamTrack to persuade consumers to buy certain products and encourage certain political views and pro-government propaganda. Using an interface (very similar to the game name) between man and computer, Chad sets out to destroy an especially dangerous DreamTrack stored in a high-security building. He asks his girlfriend, Kaf-E, to physically break into the building while he virtually infiltrates the computer to disable the computer-controlled defences and security systems.

Interphase was a game developed by The Assembly Line and published by Image Works for multiple platforms, officially released in 1989.

This game is first-person shooter and preceded famous games such as Catacomb 3-D and Wolfenstein 3D. However, its distinguishing feature is that it is also a puzzle-style game, as it mainly focuses on solving puzzles using the interaction between a third-dimensional cyberpunk environment and its conceptual relationship with a 2-D plane.

The story is set in the future, when the automation of most jobs has driven everyone to boredom, which has boosted the leisure industry. The Dreamtrack Corporation, created by Dreamers working for multinational corporations, are recordings of the imagination that becomes a form of entertainment. This dream production is done by this evil corporation whose intention is to destroy the minds of people who can interpret other people's dreams and live them through entertainment.

Creation of new versions of classic works.
(edited highlights here daily.)

Back in the day (1970s at St Martins School of Art) the convention was to train students to work in Gouache on stretched paper (stretched on a drawing board using gum strip as retraining strips).

This didn't suit effects I wanted to create.

As someone who was entirely self-taught, and grew up experimenting with primarily Oil Paint, and after a few unsatisfying experiences during the creation of my early book covers, I switched to painting on wood panels (hardboard/Masonite).

It's a simple start process.

Thinned paint (acrylic or oil as I deem suitable) and allowing the raw panel to absorb multiple washes of thinned paint.

This ensures the paint is fully and securely bonded with the raw panel.

For an author so important as Greg Bear to science fiction, one would imagine that his cover arts deserved its due artistic value too. Peter Andrew Jones, for example, has produced his art on three occasions, two of them including award-winning books. The detailing that PAJ applies, for example, to the multi-coloured shrapnel in "Heads" and the guitar-spaceship of "Queen of Angels" matches the meticulous treatment Bear gives to his text. Stellar phenomena emit a mesmerizing light in the background, overshadowed only by the foreground scenes. Here is a fine preparation from the cover to the last word of the text that delights the reader, indeed, from start to finish of this artistic contact.

Greg Bear was also one of the five co-founders of "San Diego Comic-Com" magazine and is still on the Science Fiction Museum's Advisory Board. As an illustrator, he created an early version of "Star Trek Concordance" and cover art for "Galaxy" and "F&SF" magazines.
Today, Bear has two children, Chloe and Alexandra, with Astrid Anderson – daughter of science fiction and fantasy authors Poul and Karen Anderson – whom he married in 1983. With his former wife, Christina M. Nielson – whom he had married in 1975 – he knew no heirs. Today, Bear and Anderson live in Seattle, Washington.

His book "Blood Music", before it was a novel, was published in the June 1983 issue of "Analog" magazine, and won the 1983 "Best Novelette Nebula Award" and the 1984 "Hugo Award", the year in which the author also won an "Inkpot Award"; "Heads" won the "Hayakawa Award" in the "Best Foreign Short Story" category in 1996; "Darwin's Radio" won the "Endeavour" award in 2000; "Hull Zero Three" was nominated for the "Arthur C. Clarke Award" in 2012.

A striking feature of Greg Bear's writing is his extreme scientific detailing, and he generally addresses issues in contemporary science and culture and their solutions. In addition to science fiction, Bear has also written works of fantasy and horror. He revealed that he had Ray Bradbury, a writer who Bear met in 1967 and maintained a lifelong correspondence with, as his biggest inspiration, as he had attended Bradbury's lectures and events in Southern California since he was a teenager. Doris Lessing, winner of the 2007 Nobel Prize for literature, has said that Greg Bear is a great writer.

Gregory Dale Bear, known simply as Greg Bear, was born in San Diego, California, on August 20, 1951. He studied Bachelor of Arts at San Diego State University from 1968 to 1973, where he later served as assistant professor to Elizabeth Chater in her science fiction writing course. Greg Bear, as a writer, with over 50 published books, is best known for his contributions to science fiction.

His debut publication was the story "Destroyers" for Famous Science Fiction in 1967. His work covered themes of galactic conflict (with the "Forge of God" series), artificial universes (with "The Way" series), consciousness and cultural practices (with "Queen of Angels"), and accelerated evolution (with "Blood Music", "Darwin's Radio", and "Darwin's Children"). Another notable work was Bear, along with Gregory Benford and David Brin, writing a trilogy of prequel novels to Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" trilogy.

"Tumblr, the blogging social network that was once most popular until 2018, still survives in the second decade of the present millennium and has hundreds of millions of users who access pages on this site. As you might expect, some of Peter Andrew Jones' best-known artwork from the 70s, 80s and 90s has also found its way onto Tumblr.

The page called "Space, gore and dinosaurs", by user Goddess of the Black Coast, separated some of PAJ's artworks already known by his/her fans on magazine and science fiction covers arts. Ranging from tens to thousands of notes, the artworks are reproduced in good quality, and can be a good start for the fan of good art to get in touch indirectly with PAJ's art.
The link can be accessed at: https://goddessoftheblackcoast.tumblr.com/post/22314244120/peter-andrew-jones.

Again, sharing like this proves to be a way of propagating the legacy that PAJ left in the last century, as well as perpetuating what is yet to come.

"Gianni Pilo has received the "World Science Fiction" award for his work "Il catalogo generale della fantascienza", the "Eurocon" (European science fiction and fantasy convention award), the "Sidera", the "Planeta" and numerous "Premio Italia" in the fiction, non-fiction and translations categories.

Peter Andrew Jones used for the cover art of "La saga dei Virhel" the mysterious knight carrying a beautifully ornate long sword. The beauty of this image ranges from the horse's saddlebag to the knight's features, a mixture of mage and swordsman. For an author like Pilo, a great Italian exponent of fantasy and science fiction, a better choice is impossible. Pilo is like the cover character himself: a warrior who, despite his age, commands respect and has a lot of stories to tell. Just like the creator of this visual fantasy, of course.'

"Gianni Pilo's own authorial output consists of two fantasy novels – "La saga dei Virhel", and "Atlantide", co-authored with Daniele Mansuino – and several short stories. Pilo often uses numerous pseudonyms for his translations and self-authored texts. He has contributed over 500 entries to the Great Encyclopedia of Fantasy (11 volumes) and published the dictionary "Il dizionario dell'orrore" (over 2000 non-fiction entries), as well as having created the ANASF (Associazione Nazionale Amatori della SF), the "SF..ere" (a magazine that won four Italian awards) and organised events such as "Italcon", the "Premio Sidera", the "Premio Planeta", to name only a few."

"For this dark setting, Peter Andrew Jones has contributed with a cover art that is different from his standard. In Metropolis, there is a mishmash of artwork from the author. At first glance, they seem random, yet together they show the complexity that is this lost city. This guide on how to visit and get to know it is perfectly anticipated by what the artist illustrates: technology, horror, mysticism, and many more.

The audacity of the reader is in unveiling what this place protected by the membrane of illusion is, and knowing it the cover art will make sense of it.

The question is whether he will be able to enter Metropolis with enough sanity to do so...

"This book introduces the player to situations in which the illusion is broken, places – the highlight being the Palace of Archons and the illusion machinery – and creatures that can be encountered in the "city of cities" (sometimes hunters or hideous, hostile beasts), and much more. It's a must-have accessory for anyone planning to use Metropolis in their Kult campaign, being a kind of surreal horror guide to this place.

"The supplements of Kult, are not far behind he core game in terms of curiosity and innovation. Metropolis – possibly a supplement for the second edition of the game in Sweden, one of the best known of them, deals in detail with the original city (and its five districts) that interconnects with all major cities when the illusion shatters.

"If there is any adjective that best applies to Kult, it is certainly "controversial". This controversial game aimed at more mature RPG players has already been reviewed a few times here on the blog in a general way, as well as its card game adaptation.

"Stella di Gondwana" portrays what the Middle East was like 10,000 years ago, where the adventurous Amazons of the Aphra Lowlands, the warlike Sumerians, the sensitive green-skinned Shang and a very ancient people who inhabited a mysterious continent considered then, a legendary place: Gondwana, an island surrounded by coral banks, which counts only its last guardian, Khoinè, worshipped by the people for the power of the small white star carved into the palm of her left hand.

One day, the Doctors of the Dark create a kind of evil Khoinè´s twin sister, called Alybrea, known as “the Black Star”, who seeks to defeat her "sister".

"Stella di Gondwana" (1983) is a fantasy novel that forms part of Gianluigi Zuddas' so-called "Amazonian cycle".

It portrays what the Middle East was like 10,000 years ago, where the adventurous Amazons of the Aphra Lowlands, the warlike Sumerians, the sensitive green-skinned Shang and a very ancient people who inhabited a mysterious continent considered until then a legendary place: Gondwana, an island surrounded by coral banks, which counts only its last guardian, Khoinè, worshipped by the people for the power of the small white star carved into the palm of her left hand.

One day, the Doctors of the Dark create a kind of evil Khoinè´s twin sister, called Alybrea, known as “the Black Star”, who seeks to defeat her "sister".

A characteristic of Gianluigi Zuddas is the recurrent use of female characters. His Amazons, for example, have a high concentration of realism and little fantasy. He considers his texts to belong to the "heroic fantasy" genre, focusing more on human beings themselves than extraterrestrial events and phenomena.

As an adult, Gianluigi Zuddas had several jobs, such as metalworker, mechanic, medical radiology technician and painter. Only after all these jobs did he decide to dedicate himself to writing. His first novel, "Amazon" (1978), won an award in Italy. After 1989, he focused on translations, which meant he no longer had time for his own writing, and he began to publish short stories and novels sporadically.

Gianluigi Zuddas was born in Carpi, a small town near Modena, in 1943. He is a science fiction author and translator.

He moved to Livorno with his family when he was very young, which is why many biographies consider this town as his real birthplace. His father was a non-commissioned navy officer. As a child, Zuddas read authors such as Salgari, Zane Grey and Steinbeck, and was enchanted by Frederik Pohl, Robert Sheckley and Jack Vance.
