Boris Vallejo - Snake versus Knife!171 views1975. 7 x 4 1/4". Ray T. ID'ed this for me: prelim is for the cover painting of the book "Apache Wells" by Robert Steelman, published by Ballantine Books in 1975. A black and white photo of the finished painting is in the "Boris: Book Two" publication.

Cameron Calkins - Hey Big Nose!85 views8 x 10". A quicky quirky by Cameron from 1990. I have a very snub stub of a nose, and often joked about the asian phrase "big nose," so I couldn't resist getting it! :)
|
|
Cameron Calkins - So Much For My Entrance ...110 views10 3/4 x 6 5/8" The lady's wry smile says it all... :)
|
|
Andrew Bergeron - Use the Force, Oops!636 views1990s. 9 1/2 x 7 1/2". Daffy finds it harder to be a jedi than being Duck Dodgers ... The 2 figures are an acetate cel overlay on background board. Andrew's original title was "Give me that!"
|
|
Cameron Calkins - Vulcano #1121 viewsEach year for 3 years, for the artshow at Arisia SF con in the Boston area, Cameron did a new Vulcano cover. And of course a Vulcan version of Playboy is illogical... But reading the cover reveals this is a "Harcourt Mudd" production! :)
|
|
William K. Hartmann - Ceres69 viewsA mid-1980s guess as to Cere's surface composition and appearance. In Sept 2007, the Dawn asteroid belt mission launched on a 14 year flight to get the answers. Dr. Hartmann's newer Ceres art is used at the Dawn mission NASA website.

Charles J. Lang - "Lifeform Reading? What Lifeform Reading?"208 views1980s. Here's the humorous side of Chuck's specialty - horror paintings. He did nearly a dozen covers for Cemetery Dance magazine in the early 1990s.

Michael Whelan - City by Clifford Simak, Ace cover rough153 views7 7/8 x 4 7/8"
|

Hannah MG Shapero - Clarke's Third Law90 views10 1/4 x 3 1/4". The leftmost person in the picture is the artist taking artistic license with herself in 1977. I never saw her with that glowing wand... :)
The upper right hand cornermost person is an interpretation of me as George Lucas, standing in front of the Star Wars convention namebadge I'd commissioned from Hannah the month before. You see, a new movie had opened that month, filled with droids and stormtroopers ...
... And the cowled dude with the bony hand? Uh-uh, never seen him ...
The bearded wizard was Andrew "Drew" Adams Whyte, one of the great sf bibliographers. Aaron Joyner of Boston is the baretorsoed sorcerer. The rebel fighter is David Allen of New Hampshire.
Sir Arthur C. Clarke, thank you ...
Hannah can be talked into sf/fantasy commissions at http://www.pyracantha.com/
