David Mattingly has been a major cover artist at Baen for a long time. He has recently completed cover art animations for Jim Baen's Universe and for Baen's upcoming re-issue of The Mote in God's Eye.

We hope you enjoy our first animated cover.

Note that the animation requires the Flash player version 8 or higher. If you don't have that, you'll still get a nice still from the end of the animation.

So, please go view the cover.

David has also been producing animations from other illustrations in the first issue. You can see those in our animations gallery which is also reachable through the side menu.

Thanks for visiting.
