The day the group cover pose went up on the internet, I started getting comments and emails asking where people could buy a print of this amazing piece of…art!
And I am HAPPY TO OBLIGE! Thanks once again to photographer Al Bogdan, I am in possession of one of only two existing high-quality AUTOGRAPHED 16×16 prints of that amazing pose. That’s right, this print is signed by Al as the photographer, as well as myself, John Scalzi, Patrick Rothfuss, Charles Stross, and Mary Robinette Kowal.
This auction will run for the next ten days, and the proceeds will be donated to the Aicardi Syndrome Foundation.
The other print went home with Mister Rothfuss, who will be offering it as part of his Worldbuilders charity. I’ll link to that as soon as it gets listed, but WHY WAIT? You know you want this gorgeous print hanging in your living room, your bathroom, or maybe on your bedroom ceiling. We won’t judge you!
Go! Bid! Do it now! Do it for the children! Do it for Pat’s awesomely crossed legs and duckface pout. Do it for Charlie’s amazing sunglasses! Do it because if you don’t, you’ll make us all very sad.

I was the drunken fool who bellowed "goblin army" after my wife introduced herself to you.
So why didn't you come say hi and tell me who you were on LJ???
Much.
I assume you've seen the article on BBC News? I've seen a couple links to it in other discussions of this picture, and I think it's great the BBC is drawing attention to the issue, but I've yet to see anyone comment on the irony of the headline. They're not "sexist" book covers. They're sexist. The quote marks make a difference, which I would expect the BBC to know.
And honestly, having done interviews before and seen how much can get misreported, if that's the worst thing in the article then I think I got pretty darn lucky :-)
And yeah, if a pair of quote marks are the worst part of the article, I'd count that a win.
Can't stand some of the commentary on the web about it, but really love it. I suppose some people just don't get the humor ... or haven't seen the history of your wonderful progression to this point.
I feel so hipster right now ... "I loved Jim Hines' and Scalzi's skewering of covers before it was cool." :D
But yo, dude, you were first.
Hugs to you. Also, I remember you actually HURTING yourself for some of those poses, so, y'know ... (also stop hurting yourself).... you went through more pain for your art. :D
(Are you offering it as a fresco?)
