The artwork on the 2012 calendar will be provided by Hugo-award winning artist and fan favorite John Picacio, and he&#8217;s doing some amazing stuff.  So I thought I&#8217;d whet your appetites by showing you the mockup of the cover that Bantam featured in its latest catalog.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/grrm\/pic\/000dgc53\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/georgerrmartin.com\/notablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/import\/s640x48011\" width=\"487\" height=\"480\" border='0'\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Picacio calendar will be released next July.  This may not actually be the final cover, but it should give you a good taste of the spectacular work that John is doing.  He tells me he&#8217;s determined to make this calendar the best work he&#8217;s ever done.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; who would you guys like to see do the art for future calendars?
