WOW! Big congrats!! It's about time some of our great artists here started to get some recognition I know just how you feel - I had a similar thing a couple of weeks back when I was contacted by Curious Labs to use one of my images at Siggraph next month :-)

That is really good news, and well deserved.

WOOHOOOOoooo!!!!!!!

Congratulations TJohn... A very worthy image to have on the cover of Sience Fiction Weekly. And a Bryce image no less. That is really cool.
I concur with Drawbridgep..."Carry on bragging. Anyone who gets published deserves it."

Way to go.

Cool TJohn congrats, be sure to give them a link to your site. It will boost the traffic for a week or so. I was the featured artist for them way back in Sept of 2000...
