Starloper 💫

John Carter stands over the body of a green Martian with a rapier plunged into its chest. In his arms, he carries Dejah Thoris who lays a hand across her chest covering one breast. She wears no clothes but accents of gold jewelry and chains cover her arm and waist. An angry mob of green Martians gathers behind the raised dais as John Carter looks for an escape. The wall behind them is open in an onion style arch revealing brilliant blue sky and a large craggy moon. The surrounding pillars are marbleized metallic green swirling against smooth sand-colored stone. An elegant laser pistol lies on the floor in the immediate foreground.

I have a special fondness for The Martian Tales by Edgar Rice Burroughs, ever since I first read them in my early teens. 1/5

Happy World UFO Day #worldufoday

A concept art depicts a rugged, desert landscape under a dramatic sky. A large, dark, pyramidal structure with a prominent, luminous blue ramp leading into its interior dominates the mid-ground. To the left, a sleek, dark, alien spacecraft with a flat, triangular shape hovers in the air, departing from the pyramid. The landscape is characterized by reddish-brown earth and towering, craggy mountains in the background. The sky is a vibrant blend of oranges, reds, and purples, suggesting either a sunset/sunrise or an atmospheric anomaly.

Independence Day is 29!

Departure of the alien Attacker ship of last resort, art by Thomas W. Lay Jr.:

A spaceship with spherical bow—reminiscent of the Discovery from 2001: A Space Odyssey— maneuvers past an oblong asteroid. The ship is so close in the foreground that part is off panel. The rock behind it is set on a diagonal rising to the right with a flaring sun in the distance. On the asteroid's surface is a dome. Other structures hint at a colony or starbase. A line of thin red windows indicates the bridge. Not far above two communication dishes rise. A cluster of cylinders run along the long shaft of the ship. From the aft, solar panels extend out to both sides.

OUTBOUND (1974)

An early oil painting done for myself. I was attending the Art Center at the time, but this was painted outside school.

It won first place for “Science Fiction Art—Professional” in the art show at the World SF Convention that year. 1/5

RIP Christopher Norton Moore (1947-2025)

We've all seen sci-fi book (and music album!) covers by British illustrator Chris Moore. We'll miss this prolific artist with his fascinating visions of the future.

Our thoughts are with his loved ones.

RIP FRIEND and great sci fi artist Chris Moore. A legend. A long time pal. Here he is with Jim Burns and myself.

Definitely one of the goats
