We’re transitioning our mailing list to Substack with the goal of touching base more regularly with our subscribers. It appears Substack may have sent out an email list-wide when we activated chat earlier today. I apologize for any confusion that may have caused.

While we haven’t officially announced yet, you can visit The Art of Michael Whelan Substack now and see what our daily content looks like. The plan is to combine what we’ve been doing on social media with our email newsletter. There is an option to sign up for the daily posts if you want those delivered to your mailbox, but that isn’t the default.

Here’s more from the about page:

Join Michael for an exploration of his craft with in-depth breakdowns from concept to finished painting. We post a new painting every day of the week, so you’ll never lack for art to inspire, startle, and captivate you.

We’ll take you behind the scenes in the studio like never before with feature stories leading off each weekly newsletter. Get background on how your favorite covers came to be—from WIND AND TRUTH, Michael’s latest painting for the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson, to eternal fan favorites like the Dragonrider’s of Pern by Anne McCaffrey and the Dark Tower by Stephen King.

Imaginative new worlds await you in daily art posts with a recap conveniently making its way to your email inbox, or the Substack app, just in time for your weekend reading pleasure so you don’t miss a single image.
