Thanks for pointing out my boneheaded mistake. It is a nice cover, though.James Rozoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564803816412661661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4820042025876409754.post-4589282381785362612015-02-02T21:47:38.791-08:002015-02-02T21:47:38.791-08:00Wow, I did not know that Darrell K.

My dad had a copy of the Foundation Trilogy and I remember when at 13 or 14 I went out to buy MY copies of those books that I got the editions that had Mr. Sweet's art on them. Ditto for my copies of The Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings. In both instances they are the definitive covers for me. His covers for the Covenant series have always stayed with me though I have never read those books. Very sad to hear this news even though it's almost five years old. Thanks for posting.<br /><br />One nit though: the cover in this article for "Foundation and Empire" is done by Michael Whalen who did the art for the editions that followed Sweet's version. While I love Whalen's work, his Mule seemed too cute and timid compared to Sweet's version. Sweet's versions of Seldon, the Mule and Arkady are the versions I see in my minds eye when reading the stories. <br /><br />Sweet's cover for Foundation and Empire is here:https://aqsreviews.wordpress.com/2012/08/13/foundation-and-empire/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4820042025876409754.post-63231647289562733132013-12-12T19:19:37.956-08:002013-12-12T19:19:37.956-08:00Wow?

I've never found a painting of his (or even looked for one), but I have gone out of the way to buy books with his art even if I already own the books without it. First comes the money, then comes the paintings.James Rozoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564803816412661661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4820042025876409754.post-57435099088900069592013-12-11T10:54:18.326-08:002013-12-11T10:54:18.326-08:00Did you find a Lord Foul's Bane painting to bu...Did you find a Lord Foul's Bane painting to buy?<br />I have one.<br />ThomasAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09605493516893189057noreply@blogger.com
