In the early 70s, Rick broke into the world of astronomical art and science fiction illustration, often combining both interests -- in a few three-way combinations, certain marine mammals also worked their way into his creations. Rick left the East coast and headed for the warm California climes in 1977. As he has often done Rick switched gears: he added film and television illus~ration and special effects to his background. Quickly, he became employed with the movie industry and has worked on a variety of projects, including The Black Hole, Otherworld, The Last Star.fighter, Halloween II, and Weird Science. In 1981, he received an Emmy award for his work on Carl Sagan's Cosmos. For several years after that, he worked in the Computer Graphics Rick Sternbach department at Universal Studios.

MosCon XIX Program Book 5 Poul Anderson Science Guest of Honor Poul William Anderson was born 25 November 1926 in Bristol, Pennsylvania, of Scandinavian parents (hence the first name) -- but the family soon moved to Port Arthur, Texas, where his brother John, now a geologist, was born. After the death of his father (an engineer) in 1937, the boys and their mother lived for a while in and then in the Washington DC area, before settling on a farm in Minnesota. Poul majored in physics at the University of Minnesota, graduating with honors in 1948. However, while still in college, he had begun to sell stories, and before long he decided to become a free-lance writer. In 1953 he moved to the San Francisco Bay area and married Karen Kruse: they have a daughter, Astrid (married to ), a grandson and a granddaughter, and have also collaborated on some literary works. Poul and Karen Anderson have lived in suburban Orinda, California, since 1960. The Andersons' activities include travel, hiking, sailing, reading, sketching, gardening, carpentry, cuisine, conversation. Poul and Karen belong to SFW A (Science Fiction Writers of America), The Scowrers and Molly Maguires (San Francisco scion of the Baker Street Irregulars), and the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism), in which he has won a knighthood for perhaps most appropriately, a Special Issue of The prowess in medieval combat.

David Bigelow writes science-fiction short stories, and belongs to a Seattle writers group called "the Ink Slingers." One SF story was published in the 1994 (Manitoba) program book. He is also guilty of masquerading as a Klingon. Betty's nom-de-paintbrush is Rena Bassilvergoran. Mostly self-taught, she works in pen and ink, acrylic and water color, as well as 3D ceramic and polymer clay sculptures. Betty's pieces gather many awards at convention art shows. They have appeared in , both locally and internationally. David grew up in Olympia, living in the house built by his great-grandfather. The house is now a National Historical Monument and a Museum. As a costumer, Betty has won scads of awards at science fiction costume events. Her latest and continuing projects are the Klingon costumes she and husband David wear (usually on Saturdays) at conventions. These require skills in latex appliance construction (for the foreheads -- you wouldn't want to see the kitchen afterwards), makeup (four hours in makeup, just to wander around on Saturdays!), and language (Klingon, of course). So Betty is well qualified to bear the title of coordinator of the Seattle Klingon Diplomatic Corps, Fashion Animal Division. Betty is also Artistic Director of the Shaharazad Middle Eastern Dance Ensemble. She has studied Belly Dance, Flamenco, and Middle-Eastern Ethnic Dance for (mumble-ty mumble) years. As a fan, Betty usually describes herself as 17 years old and counting. Betty and David, with their friends in the Seattle Klingon Diplomatic Corps, Fashion Animal Division (SKDC-FAD) have produced quite a few masquerade half-time entertainments, in which and dancing Klingons maintain the proud tradition of the Klingon Tribble-Stomping Dance. It is an absolute must for anybody even remotely interested in serious space travel & self-defense.

" .. . if I work out a recipe from a medieval description, I have the pleasure of creation, ... then I get to eat it - as often as I choose to make it - and enjoy the pleasure of the guests I serve it to. John D. McDonald once said, 'Writing and waiting for reactions is like dropping a feather down a well and waiting for echoes.' Cooking is more satisfying." Karen has been involved in a major way in brain­ stonning with science-fiction authors, helping to build up plausible backgrounds for fictional societies, ecosystems, and worlds, and editing drafts. She has been described as "a world-class nitpicker" by no less an authority than her husband Poul, and her son-in-law Greg Bear frequently requests her criticism. Nonetheless, Karen has done a fair bit of writing. Her first sales were in the early '50s, to Anthony Boucher's Fantasy and Science Fiction, Cele Goldsmith's Amazing, as well as to and Galaxy. More recently, her Karen Kruse Anderson collected stories appeared in The Unicom Trade (for 1984), and she has collaborated with Poul on a four-volume historic Filk Guest of Honor fantasy, The King of Ys (Baen 1986-88, 1996).

We will be happy to help you sort them out. 2. The game master is the sole interpreter of the rules of the particular game he is running. Please do not appeal to the Registration desk or any of the volunteers helping us for rulings on game related issues if the dice go against you -- they just don't know. 3. Rules Lawyers will be beaten to a pulp for a first offense! You are encouraged to help squelch this behavior. Please don 't stain the carpet. © 4. We encourage you to set up unscheduled games. Please go to the registration table or ask the Gaming Czar before using an open table. We want to make sure you have time to finish your game. It would be a real bummer to get all set up and find out the table was reserved for another game in 15 minutes.

University Room

Art this year is being organized by Jon Gustafson, Beth Miller, and Holly J. Bauer. Please feel free to bid according to the rules listed below. We also will have a print shop this year where everyone can buy their favorite prints on the spot. We ask that you respect the artists and their artwork by not bringing in cameras, food, drink, or smoke. Also, please check large bags, packs, coats that are not worn at the entrance to the show. You can reclaim them on your way out. Finally, we are obliged to say that some people may find some of the art within the show offensive so please be warned. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Art Show Hours: Friday 2-6 PM, Saturday 10 AM-6 PM, Sunday 10 AM- 12 noon. After 12 the Art Show will be closed to bidding in order to prepare for the Auction. The Art Show will be open again after the auction for last minute, after-auction purchases.

Bidding Rules: Only members ofMosCon XIX may bid. The tags on each piece of art contain spaces for written bids. A written bid is a contract to buy at that price. All items with two bids will go to auction. Single bid items will be sold after the auction to the person making the bid.

Auction: This will be the usual voice auction with bidding going in dollar increments. Bring your checkbook and wallet and have fun increasing or starting your own art collection. There will be a list posted before the auction with the order of the items going up for bid.

Please note: There will be other non-art items in the auction! All non-art proceeds go to MosCon to pay our bills so we can do this again next year.

Payment: We will take checks, money-orders, and cash. Rumor is that we will also have a credit card machine available for users of the plastic . Payment will be collected for auctioned items, single-bid items, and after-auction sales at the end of the auction until the art show closes. Print Shop items can be purchased in the Art Show room any time the art show is open.
