2024 was the year that I went back to working traditionally in a big way after decades of digital. Some of it was personal, some of it for my Dark Shepherd project and debut novel. I have been lucky in that I sold every piece of art I created. So here are my nine picks of the year, both digital and traditional, none are AI.

Happy New Year to you all and all the best for 2025.

Nine details from images produced this year, some are oils, some digital. Happy New Year and all the best for 2025

Have a good one everyone. I hope 2025 is all you wish for. I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who bought a copy of the book or bought a piece of artwork this year. Thank you for your support.

Space suited figure stands beneath huge icy asteroid studded with lights and other tech modifications. A mining ship is tethered to the surface he is standing on. The ring system of a gas giant is in the background.

Space suited figure stands below huge modified asteroid with ring system and mining ship in the background.

Mining ship approaches modified asteroid flying low over icy ring particles

Mining ship dwarfed by ring system above it.

From my Dark Shepherd novel. Something is still active in an ancient, apparently dead, alien derelict.
The last image was used as the cover of the Art of Fred Gambino, published by Titan books.

Two astronauts, tiny against the hull of an ancient alien derelict. The scene is lit by floodlights from their salvage ship in the background.

From a POV just above the derelict hull the two astronauts approach. Space is littered with debris and wreckage.

The two astronauts fall into the organic, twisted interior of the derelict.

The two approach a mysterious, still functioning mechanism at the heart of derelict.

So, I have a problem. I have trouble creating personal work without a brief or end goal so in case you're interested in helping out there's this:)

So, I have a table talk at the WorldCon on Saturday Hall 4 at 1 pm. ( used to be called Kaffeeklatsch )
Look forward to seeing you there if you are attending, along with any books you need signing. On that note, if, for some reason, you have yet to buy your copy of Dark Shepherd, you will be able to get one in the dealers room at the NewCon press stand.
Hope you all have a good con, see you next week.

Just finished reading Fred Gambino's *Dark Shepherd*; it is a poor *Star Wars* knock-off https://rdmp.org/dale-mellor/bookblog/?review=dark-shepherd #bookstodon #fredgambino #darkshepherd #books

Today is the day I can call myself a published author. Dark Shepherd is available from Amazon and NewCon press.

"A fine piece of fast-paced, slam-bang space opera." The Financial Times.

“Kinetic, sassy, character driven, hard science fiction, galaxy spanning, space adventure – what’s not to like?” – Ricardo Pinto

If you’ve ever woken wondering how to add stars to your oil painting, and let’s face, who hasn’t, this video is for you. A bit more experimentation, mixing up traditional with digital. Check out the YouTube for the process.
