9) CORONAVIRUS PARODY SONG<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have just this single coronavirus parody song to offer this month; it\u2019s by The Kiffness and includes a smidgen<\/em> of hope for the future (www.thekiffness.com<\/a>):<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.monsffa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DoYouBelieveInLifeAfterLockdownCherCoronavirusParodySong-TheKiffness.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

10) FAREWELL!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We bid farewell to two of our club members, Adam Lawrence and Agata Antonow, who are shortly moving out of province. Best of luck, guys, as you embark on a new chapter. We\u2019ll miss you! And do keep in touch!<\/p>\n

11) Names of Sci-Fi Artists Featured in Opening Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n

We don’t actually have the name of the artist who created the cover-jacket design for the first edition of Ray Bradbury’s classic Fahrenheit<\/em> 451<\/em>! Suffice it to say it’s a striking visual!\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Frank R. Paul produced the vividly colourful cover art for the August 1927 issue of Amazing Stories<\/em>. Paul is considered by many to be the grandfather of sci-fi pulp illustration.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The iconic image of a robot gracing the first-edition cover of Asimov’s classic I, Robot<\/em> was created by Edd Cartier.<\/p>\n

Next we have a groovy piece by the venerable Frank Kelly Freas. It was employed as the cover of June 1948’s issue of Super-Science Fiction.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nProbably best known as the first to illustrate Frank Herbert’s Dune<\/em>, John Schoenherr has produced many first-rate illustrations for books and magazines. We showcased a piece used as the cover of Mark Phillips’ novel The Impossibles<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

British illustrator Chris Foss’ colourfully painted spaceships set against dramatic backdrops should be recognizable to most fans. His talents have been applied to both book illustration and conceptual design for genre films. The painting we showcased appeared as the cover of an E. E. “Doc” Smith reprint by Panther Science Fiction.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

David Mattingly has produced all of the covers for David Weber’s Honor Harrington<\/em> series for Baen. This excellent example of imaginative realism served as the cover of Honor Among Enemies<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Unhappy with the illustrations proposed for Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange<\/em>, art director\/designer David Pelham decided to take on the job himself, coming up with this simple, effective, and enduring graphic.\"\"<\/a>Finally, we have a trio of wonderfully pulpy paintings produced for Super-Science Fiction<\/em> magazine by Edmund “Ed” Emshwiller, who often signed his work “Emsh.”\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

12) THANK YOU!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We hope you have enjoyed your time with us this afternoon, and we ask all of you to check in regularly here at www.MonSFFA.ca<\/a> for additional content during this continuing period of partial lockdown, and for any news as to when the club expects a return to face-to-face meetings. Thank you for your interest and attention, and don\u2019t forget to comment on today\u2019s offerings!<\/p>\n

We\u2019d also like to thank Sylvain St-Pierre, Jos\u00e9e Bellemare, Joe Aspler, Keith Braithwaite, and Cathy Palmer-Lister for putting this November 2020 DIY, Virtual MonSFFA Meeting together, with a nod, as well, to our supporting contributors today.<\/p>\n

And we\u2019d be remiss if we were not to acknowledge and correct an oversight regarding last month\u2019s meeting: we failed to include Cathy Palmer-Lister\u2019s name in the \u201cThank You!\u201d section; she did, in fact, contribute to the October meeting, as she has to all of our virtual meetings to date! We apologize for this oversight and blame it on accumulated fumes from hand sanitizer messing with our cognitive function!<\/p>\n

Until next time (December 12), eschew gatherings, continue to practise social distancing, wear your mask, and wash your hands often! With a vaccine now on the near-horizon, better days are ahead, but it will take continuing patience, discipline, and emotional fortitude to get us there!\"\"<\/a>
