Chesley Award Redesign

The Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists (ASFA) has announced a new design for the Chesley Award. The award celebrates “science fiction and fantasy illustration, as voted on by artists and art fans.”

The new design is by artist Nekro, with art direction from ASFA president Sarah Felix, who says:

We were looking for a modern interpretation of the muse that propels all artists forward. We thought Nekro would be the perfect choice to craft an inspired take on the goddess Athena who symbolizes wisdom, war, and the arts. He delivered in spectacular fashion

The new design will be become a three-inch medallion, to be awarded to all Chesley winners beginning this year. For more, see their announcement.
