Michael Whelan

Michael Whelan has been interested in the imagery of science fiction and fantasy since his early childhood. He pursued art as his hobby throughout his school years and as a major at San Jose State University. He graduated in 1973 as a President's Scholar with a BA in painting and went on to the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles to acquire his professional skills. While there he sent some work to the World Science Fiction Convention in Washington, D.C. (1974). Although still a student, he entered the Art Show as a professional and won first place for a science fiction painting. This gave him enough confidence to send slides of his work to Donald Wolheim at DAW Books who offered him his first cover assignment. Since then Michael has created almost 300 paintings for book covers, record albums, calendars, magazines, etc. Among his numerous awards are: The Hugo (World Science Fiction) Award for Best Professional Artist which he has won eight times, and the Howard (World Fantasy) Award for Best Artist three times.
