My other passion has always been science and science fiction art. I did quite a bit 20-25 years ago and actually sold quite a few originals at sci-fi cons and had a few things published. Unfortunately, I have very little photographic record. This is one of the few and also one of my favorites. It's very dated, but I still like it. ImagineFX magazine has got me interested in getting back into this type of art.

This art was done traditionally using designers gouache on illustration board.

When I look at this picture I can't help be taken back to when I was young and space seem open. That we would start to truly move beyond this Mote in God's Eye of a world. Of course that didn't happen but it still warms my heart thinking of it.

Thanks for the comment. I'm flattered that anybody is taking the time to look at my old stuff. This art was painted in 1979 and the movie 2001 came out in 1968 I think. It played in a little art theater near my art school the whole 3 years I was in school and I probably saw it 20-30 times and probably walked by that poster thousands of times. I think the artist for that poster was Robert McCall who influenced me, and probably a lot of young artists of the time greatly. Robert McCall, Syd Mead and John Berkly are still my favorite artists and so yes there probably is some influence. As far as this old painting, the space is black, the earth is blue, the factory has four arms and rotates around the center and there is a space transport docked in the center, so yes it probably looks like 2001 or any other space atation of the time.
keep the comments comming!
