Description
A Tribute to the Golden age of Sci Fi illustration. Before there were pixels there were pencils, when mixed medium meant getting paint in your eyebrows and if you messed up sometimes it meant you'd have to start all over ;-(
...those WEREN'T the days but the art produced was superb and always top shelf!
High mention goes out to Chris Foss, Tim White, Boris Vallejo, Fred Gambino, Jim Burns, some of those masters whos art has been part of my inspiration.
For those who have compared my work to Chris Foss I am honored and humbled and give a round of thank you's.

majority of the ship texture as well as the clouds is PS postwork, bryce sky w/original settings.

only complaint: Too small! This is a beautiful image, in the best traditions of SF cover art. You know your color harmonies!
