Donato Nominated for 3 Chesleys!
|
I am very honored to announce that I have been nominated for three Chesleys this year!
The Chesley Awards were established in 1985 as the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists's (ASFA) peer awards to recognize individual works and achievements during a given year. The Chesleys were initially called the ASFA Awards, but were later renamed to honor famed astronomical artist Chesley Bonestell after his death in 1986. The awards are presented annually at the World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon).
ASFA was organized for artistic, literary, educational and charitable purposes concerning the visual arts of Science Fiction, Fantasy, Mythology and related topics. Part of ASFA's purpose is to stimulate the public's interest in these areas of art. They're also here to encourage and develop amateur artistic talent, educate the public, publishers, patrons of the arts and anyone interested in works of these particularly types of art and craftsmanship in the rights, needs and problems of the people involved in the creation of this material.
The following pieces have been nominated for the award:
