I know I'm late getting these posted, but here are my interviews with two outstanding Trek/comic/sci-fi artists, Lawrence Reynolds and Joe Corroney. Both attended the (not so) recent Star Trek Fan Days in Plano. I talked to both of them prior to the convention.

First up is Lawrence Reynolds whose online gallery lives at Vivid Fury. Lawrence is a master (yeah, a JEDI Master!) of both realistic illustration and a looser, more painterly style, perfect for capturing the frentic quality of characters like the Joker. He works professionally in print and TV advertising. He's also a very nice guy.
Joe Corroney illustrates for Lucasfilm creating artwork for books, games, trading cards, comic books, posters and magazines. He's done work for the Star Trek, G.I. Joe, Doctor Who and Bukaroo Banzai franchises among many others. He's currently doing cover art for the True Blood comic series. Joe was lot's of fun to talk to, but we encountered a few technical difficulties. He sounded as if he was transmitting from V'Ger. I'm afraid the audio is pretty squonky. (A technical radio term.) I tried to clean it up, but it is what it is. Give it a listen though, Joe gives some great insights to his work.
