I just put this up over at the [info]debsliverlovers auction,
which is where you'll have to go to bid on it:


Canty picture MWK



This is the folding plate that appears at the beginning of my new chapbook, "The Man with the Knives."  It was commissioned for the book, and drawn by Thomas Canty, whose work has long been associated with mine, beginning with his cover for the original American edition of Swordspoint.

The publisher, Temporary Culture, commissioned a small number of additional copies of the print, and the artist signed copies in preparation for hand bound issue. There are 25 signed copies, never folded, most intended for presentation. Publisher Henry Wessells has kindly made available this one, signed by the artist in pencil at lower right. It is suitable for framing (and will be mailed in a tube to keep it uncreased). Heavy cream paper stock.

Dimensions (paper):  17 1/2 " x 8 3/4"  
It's bigger than it looks from the above jpeg - double-click on the image to see it in more detail.

Then throw you bid into the ring by going straight to the auction page [DO NOT BID HERE!].  Scroll through the many pages & generous donors for a cornucopia of desirable delights..

Uh, thanks. Tempting me with yet more things, I see :).

Looking at that makes me sad that there is no published collection of Thomas Canty's work available. For years whenever I saw something with his cover art I had an immediate "You must read/buy this now!" reaction without really being able to articulate why. I'm not sure if there are any active artists in the SF/F genres who inspire the same reaction in me today. Maybe Kinuko Y. Craft.

I'm hoping all this will help spark a giant Canty revival. 'Cause you are so right.

Well, when your $15 copy of "The Man with the Knives" arrives, you will see that it has this same picture as the tipped-in art foldout. Yeah, it's got creases, but it's still gorgeous - and it's all yours!

I can't get past the page that askes me if I am over 14 and asks me to log in!
Waaaaah!

Please give it another try. I'd originally set the auction as adult content, but we really haven't been getting it, so I just turned it off. I'm not sure if there's an LJ glitch that's going on and ignoring your login or not, but we'll see if that fixes the problem. :}
