Vintage Ads From the Science Fictional Future
This is pretty cool: science fiction author Mark A. Rayner created a contest for people to create a retro/vintage-looking advertisement for a product found in the annals of science fiction. Adapting the artwork from an old BOHM ad from 1947, I created an ad for the CHOAM Corp. from Frank Herbert’s Dune novels. And I came in Second Place! Woo hoo! Here’s a small-sized representation of my entry:
The full-size version can be viewed here.
You can find all three finalist’s work at Mark’s blog here, as well as all of the other entries. It was a great idea for a contest; I hope he does it again!

Congrats again Paul. So Kit has chosen his prize, and that leaves you a choice of:
-a copy of The Amadeus Net
or
-a walk-on role in my next novel.
What will it be?
