Artist's Comments

Illustration done for "The Moon Pool" by A. Merritt, to be published in December's Baen's Universe E-Zine.

An excerpt from the story:
Far, it seemed immeasurably far, along this stream of silver fire I sensed, rather than saw, something coming. It drew into sight as a deeper glow within the light. On and on it sped toward us--an opalescent mistiness that swept on with the suggestion of some winged creature in darting flight. Dimly there crept into my mind memory of the Dyak legend of the winged messenger of Buddha--the Akla bird whose feathers are woven of the moon rays, whose heart is a living opal, whose wings in flight echo the crystal clear music of the white stars--but whose beak is of frozen flame and shreds the souls of the unbelievers ..... Now I saw that within the mistiness was a core, a nucleus of intenser light--veined, opaline, effulgent, intensely alive. And above it, tangled in the plumes and spirals that throbbed and whirled were seven glowing lights.

"What more could one wish for than the stars to guide his steps where he walks, the moon to light his way in darkness and a lovely companion by his side to keep him company through the long, forgotten night?"

StellarWind. NOT Stellar Wind.

What goes around, comes around. Like a merry go round, if you repeat certain actions too many times, you may want to throw up. But it still just goes around and around andaround until it comes back and hits you in the face.
Karma...what a bitch.
