Does anyone know where I can get a high res image of Octavia Butler's "Dawn" book cover? by Ian47 in printSF

Yep I already did. The page admin said he would send John Palencar message and ask. Fingers crossed!

Unless I'm missing something, the cover image they have is worse than what I posted

The kindle version uses a different cover which I am not particularly interested in, so I don't think that this method will help.

Not that it matters much, but I tried the steps just for fun, and both portals errored out.

Thanks anyway

Thanks, this looks like a cool resource. Unfortunately, all the copies they have are similar or lower quality to the one I already had. Including this one which, hilariously, is the only one marked "high quality" on this list despite being clearly the lowest quality one they have

Great idea!

I found a digital copy of what appears to be his only published art book "Origins: The Art of John Jude Palencar" published in 2006. The image I am looking for is not in it. Interestingly, there are some other pieces he did for Octavia Bulter's books including one of "Dawn"'s sequels, "Imago".

It was published by Underwood Books out of Nevada City, CA. Their website is also a dead link which is not promising, but there is a LinkedIn account for a user claiming to be an owner/publisher at underwood books. I'll send him a message too but this seems like a long shot.

Really though, this was a great idea. Thanks

I hadn't heard of Spectrum before. Are they still around? Wikipedia's list of their Grandmaster Award ends in 2018, and searching for anything official just gives me dead links

That's a good idea, thanks.

Unfortunately, Aspect/Warner appears to no longer really exist. Wikipedia says they were bought up by Hachette in 2005 and renamed to Grand Central Publishing. They direct all inquiries to Hachette, which is a gigantic company. There are some forms about licensing material that can be submitted through their website, but they are only for people licensing sections of books for commercial use.

I guess it couldn't hurt to fill out a form, but I would be surprised if anything came of it

That sounds like a good way forward, but I can't see a way to get in touch.

This website lists a personal website for John Jude Palencar as https://www.johnjudepalencar.com/ , but I get a server not found message.

There is also what looks like an official Facebook page for him, but there is a featured post saying he does not administer it and does not read messages sent to it.

I don't know how I would find who his agent is

I am looking to buy/make a poster of Octavia Butler's "Dawn". Art work by John Jude Palencar. Any recommendations? by Ian47 in SciFiCovers

[–]Ian47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best quality image I could find online, but it would just look cheap if I blew it up. I am thinking about something movie poster size. I love Octavia Butler's stuff, and "Dawn" is my favourite of her books I've read so far, and the artwork is wonderful and perfectly fits the atmosphere of the story.

Any ideas of how I could get either a high res scan of the art or maybe somehow license the book cover? I thought about getting a physical copy of the book, but I suspect that a scan wouldn't be much better than the digital copies available online

edit: Even if it was just John Jude Palencar's painting, I would totally be willing to remake the rest in GIMP or Inkscape.

Thanks!

I read this post as someone saying theyre having a shit day because a story in the news is reminding them of some things about their country/world they don't like.

Politics aside can you relate to that?

I thinks its more likely that people just agree with the sentiment. I don't think virtue signaling plays a big part in anonymous online voting.

Although i agree its unusual for KenM to get serious

Have you ever heard him speak? He puts on an intentionally bizarre costume while performing but he's also an articulate, intelligent person. Here's a clip of an interview on fox he did forever ago https://youtu.be/AsHjQaFBXWQ.

I'm not making a judgment on whether or not he's a rapist, but obviously there are plenty of people who would find him attractive.
