After creating the cover for their new comic series "Shadow Hunter", Virgin Comics invited me to a private meeting with Jenna Jameson... not THAT kind of private meeting, you filthy minded bastards.  Anyway, she signed my personal print: "Greg, thanks for making me look so beautiful"  It took every ounce of self control to keep from sobbing openly.  Eventually, I sucked it up and we took a photo together.

• Hey!  I have been inducted into The Society of Illustrators!   What does that mean?  ...well being that it is the oldest and most respected artistic institution in the U.S., it means I am officially "prestigious".  You can invite me to your cocktail parties now.  Anyway, now that I'm a member, you will have to address me as Sir Greg Horn.  Here's the official press release

• The Art of Greg Horn has sold out in a matter of days.  2nd printing offered for April shipping.
•  Greg Horn has been tapped to produce the illustration for the United States Olympic Basketball team.   In what is undoubtedly the most anticipated, most visible marketing event of the Olympic Games, his painting will showcase this team of all-stars on an international stage in Athens, Greece.    Previously, the central image for the U.S. team has always been a photograph.   But, due to his work with Nike on the Lebron James billboard,  Allstate (the official sponsor of the team) commissioned Greg to produce a painting instead.   Greg's highly detailed, realistic style manages to capture the familiar likenesses of the players while still allowing a higher level of artistic freedom than standard photography.    The project was a massive undertaking, especially with the roster having been in flux until only recently.   Ironically, these complications made it possible for Lebron James to be added to the team for Greg to paint him again!  The illustration will appear in a number of high-profile publications:
•   WWW.GREGHORNJUDGE.COM tops 1,000,000!! According to Urchin Reports, June 2004 was the busiest month ever for Greg Horn's official website with 86,369 visitors.  This propels the lifetime total over ONE MILLION! The website was originally created to promote Greg's creator owned series called J.U.D.G.E. and now showcases his artwork from several different industries including Comics, Advertising, Video Games, Magazines, and Fantasy illustration.
•  Writer extraordinaire BRIAN BENDIS will be writing the foreword for Greg's very first artbook, THE ART OF GREG HORN. The two have known each other since 1996 when they toured California and Vegas together as part of the Psychic, Gun, Sickle Tour.  Brian might just have the best perspective on how this book finally came about!
•   Two of Greg Horn's ELEKTRA paintings were shown on MTV's music countdown program called TRL (July 02, 2004).  The show aired  an interview with Elektra actress Jennifer Garner who reported she would be wearing the original red costume of Elektra (good!).  The illustrations shown were the covers to Elektra #1 and #2.  Greg's illustrations have also been featured in USA TODAY, STUFF magazine, The Shield (FX!), Queer as Folk (Showtime), and Hispanics Today.   UPDATE!   They just did it again!  On July 6th, TRL composited Jennifer Garner in her red leather outfit side-by-side with a still shot of Elektra #2  
•  Wizard's latest issue features an article on Greg's non-comics art work and a mention of his new artbook.    INQUEST GAMER magazine also plans an interview on the artist in their August issue (#113).   the subsequent issue will sport his artwork on the cover--an illustration of the new EVERQUEST 2 game.
