Competition Winnners!

Posted on by Neal Asher

Okay, after much consideration of the various Mr Crane images I have to give special mention to Ivan Halen and Bob Lock, but the winner is this one by Carlos Mendez, who gets first prize.


The runners up are Vaudeviewgalor Randisraisins (try saying that without taking a breath) for his psychedelic glister, which touches on the fact that if you eat glister brains it makes you high, and Robert McGregor for his gabbleduck. Regarding the latter: this is not really the image in my head but, if I’d seen it before I’d started writing about gabbleducks, it would have been.

So, now I have to get the prizes to the various winners. Please, if any of you three are reading this, email me with your addresses at ndotasheratvirgindotnet.

Art Competition Judging (gulp)

Posted on by Neal Asher

Damn but this is difficult. I’ve eliminated the obviously photo-shopped ones and those that, whilst good and must have required a lot of work, aren’t up to the quality of some of the stuff I’ve received. I’ve also eliminated some that whilst good aren’t anything like what I see in my fevered mind. Frankly, I would like to give everyone a prize but, this is a competition, and I don’t buy into the politically correct bullshit that promotes the idea that there should never be losers. Thus far I’ve narrowed the field down to five pictures, but two more have to go. Here are the five:

Okay, I haven’t forgotten about this. I’m going to sort through all the pictures and pick winners in four days time, so if you’ve got something left to send, get it to me now.

Thanks to Julie and Chloe at Macmillan the prizes are these:

1st place: A signed proof copy of Orbus, a signed copy of The Gabble and signed brand new reissues (with the new covers) of Gridlinked, The Skinner, Cowl & The Line of Polity.

2nd & 3rd place: A signed proof copy of Orbus and a signed copy of The Gabble each.

Here’s a Skinner scene from Asmus Neergaard:

Dear Mr. Asher

Since I read about your artwork competition, I’ve been thinking about things to draw.
My first impulse was drawing The Skinner, but I decided against it. In retrospect, it was a wise decision because the recent new front for The Skinner was exactly what I had in mind (Though it is far better looking than what I had started drawing)
I hope that you like the attached drawing. I imagine that a meeting with a seagoing leech on Spatterjay would look something like this.

Kind regards,
Asmus Neergaard

New Covers WOW!

Posted on by Neal Asher

As I believe I mentioned on here before, Macmillan have decided to produce new covers for the first four of my books. I guess they thought it about time what with, for example, Gridlinked now in its twelfth print run. Here are two of them. Please let me know what you think!



Both of these images are a mere blink away from what I was seeing in my fevered mind. Brilliant work Mr Jon Sullivan.
