Brass Dragon!

Back in August I received a slightly odd email:

Phil is drawing a cover for Windycon's Blaylock short story collection, and he sort of used you as the guy building a mechanical dragon in his garage... Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. 

If it wasn't, and you'd rather we made it not look quite like you, please e-mail me and let me know! 

(I know we should have asked first, but we got carried away... sorry!) 

Thanks--

Of course I was deeply flattered and quickly responded that I, in fact, felt honored that they chose to use my likeness!

That's gorgeous! Absolutely love the detail, (though I wish I could see more wing.)
Wonderful job!

When I was a little nerd and saw his comics in Dragon Magazine, I wanted to be Phil Foglio when I grew up. Seeing this reminds me that that particular desire hasn't changed :)

... that it's an honor to act as a model for Phil and Kaja, especially for something so appropriate... and that it is appropriate to ask permission before publishing a borrowing of someone's likeness, in any media.

And that it's a great sketch. I've mostly stopped buying prints, since discovering that I can afford original art, but this is indeed tempting.

How beautiful and cool!!! This is just so awesome. Jim is my MAN - and this will be the best book, I'm certain.
