I know your work since about 1980' in so far as the Warlock of firetop mountain was the very first heroic-fantasy book I read...<br />I can say that you are (with John Blanche) my favorite illustrator and you made me really appreciate black and white pictures. Thank you !! <br />Have a nice stay in Paris, I hope to be lucky enough to find you there on friday afternoon...<br />Best regards,<br />EmmanuelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741473921839627038.post-17327051849201987532010-09-07T13:47:44.765+01:002010-09-07T13:47:44.765+01:00M.

Nicholson, don't worry, I doubt I will be disappointed, as my expectations are not so high : to say "hello" and "thank you" in real, and to ask you one short question or two about your work if you have the time.<br /><br />And about your planning, I have discovered on the Monde du Jeu website, that your discussion with Joe Dever ( another fantasy legend... ) will be one of the major event ( nothing less ! ) of the saturday and that it will take place from 15h to 15h30 French Time. <br /><br />I would have prefered a several hours long speech, but I have to understand that you are an artist, and not a politician... I was joking, of course !<br /><br />Enjoy your stay in Paris, and see you there, with some luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741473921839627038.post-41099746393620346742010-09-06T08:51:18.545+01:002010-09-06T08:51:18.545+01:00Again, many thanks for all the good wishes for my ...Again, many thanks for all the good wishes for my trip - I need it, as I'm a lousy traveller [till I get there].<br /><br />I do agree Dave, I enjoyed our work on Abraxas and would have loved to have seen it develop further. <br /><br />To Steph R. <br />Nice to hear from you and that you and others are looking forward to meeting me at Monde de Jue. <br />As for my 'appearance at the Convention [?] In truth I know little, but as I understand it, I will be about on all three days. But I could be wrong lol. <br />I 'know' I'm doing a discussion with Joe Dever on the Saturday, I may be involved in a game [?] on the Sunday, and it will be quiet on the Friday [?] all which suggests I'm to appear on all three days. <br />Anyway, which ever day you do come please come up and say 'hi' it'll be nice to meet you. I hope you wont be too disappointed lol.

Nicholson, you don't have to worry too much about knowing no French, as quite a few people you'll meet at the Monde du Jeu convention next week-end, have learned ( or been encouraged to learn ) some English thanks to all the great books you participated in ! When it was not with M. Morris' ones...<br /><br />And it would be such an honour to see you there ! I know that you are going to be a special guest of "Le Grimoire", but please could you indicate me when would be the best moment to find you at this game convention ? On which day and at what time ? ...<br /><br />Anyway, thanks a lot for all your work ( and M. Morris' one too of course !), which enlightened my childhood and well beyond... I'm following your blog with the greatest interest, even if it is the first time I post a comment on it.<br /><br />Très bon séjour en France !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741473921839627038.post-41334113147258798722010-09-05T23:01:52.430+01:002010-09-05T23:01:52.430+01:00My biggest regret was that we never got Abraxas of...My biggest regret was that we never got Abraxas off the ground. Your unique blend of ancient world architecture and super-science was so unique. But there are plenty of other fabulous Nicholson originals out there to enjoy.
