It\u2019s been a busy couple of years, too busy to squeeze in the usual Gallery Update back at the start of last year. But the fan art and the book covers and the bodily mutilations have continued even as my coverage of them lapsed\u2014and by the time you look in on the backlog you\u2019ve got over two hundred pieces in there, each in need of attention, formatting and thumbnailing and annotation. And then, more often than not, you realize you\u2019ve lost track of where you found the fucking thing so you have to go online and try to track down the artist so you can at least render attribution and maybe a link or two. The only time you can carve out the time to do that is over the holidays, and who the hell wants to blow their few festive days off on that?<\/p>\n

No one, probably. But I was raised Baptist, and as one of Gary Trudeau\u2019s characters once opined, life\u2019s not meant to be enjoyed. It\u2019s meant to be gotten on with<\/em>.<\/p>\n

So here you go. Almost 250 new pieces for your delectation (the vast majority, as usual, in the Blindopraxia wing). There\u2019s new work by the usual crew, but I\u2019m excited to present a whole bunch of new artists here (several of whom pumped out enough work to warrant their own dedicated subsections. I also finally got around to posting those interior illustrations from the 2014 MAG editions that I only just discovered a couple of years back but didn\u2019t have time to upload. And, inevitably, AI-generated art made its debut.<\/p>\n

This is but the merest fraction of the new editions. Lots more over in the galleries themselves. Do check them out.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t say I never do anything for you.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n
