Science-fiction and space art
I was thinking about posting this thread in the "Funnies" section (actually, I'm not sure what the mods think about where it should be located) but since this is some serious art and we already got threads like "Post your desktop" here, this should be the appropriate place. And I said, yes, this should be the appropriate place.
I've been a science-fiction fanatic since my childhood (I'm still not out of that phase and decline to "grow up"), interested in everything from literature, movies, comics, cartoons to paintings and illustrations. I really appreciate good book illustrations. Here are a few wonderful paintings from this genre: Pic 1: by Bob Layzell who used to draw many illustrations for the Perry Rhodan novels. Pic 2: "Okie City, Trading Contact" by John Harris. Pic 3: "Big Boy Loco" by Jim Burns. Pic 4: "Trantorian Dream" by Michael Wheldan. Pic 5: "Day Million" by Frederik Pohl. Pic 6: by Tony Roberts. Pic 7: The Other Side of Time" by Jerome Podwil. |

Great idea for a thread, Norbert!
Been collecting a few lately: John Schoenherr' illustrations for a serialization of the novel 'Dune" March 1965. Hmmmm.... I wonder where David Lynch got the idea for what the sandworms looked like? Schoenherr again, Cover illustration, May 1964, featuring James H. Schmitz' "Undercurrents", about a teenage girl telepath Schoenherr, Nov. 1964, cover illustrating H. Beam Piper's "Gunpowder God", a Paratime (parallel world) story. Of course there are also pulp covers & posters galore, often better than the actual story, if this doesn't move too far into 'funnies' territory for you?

Naoto Hattori
A Japanese artist who now lives in NYC, I believe. He has a website & a google image search will turn up literally hundreds of his images. Most of his paintings are quite small, which helps explain the numbers & the detail. If you know much art history you'll see some images that are based on Renaissance & Flemish work. Some recall Basil Wolverton & Big Daddy Roth, & more recent painters like Mark Ryden & Todd Schorr. He does, or did, sell them online, as well as prints.

Wasn't sure were to put this as there is no thread for "Good Girl Art". Comic book art, Pin-up art, Red Heads?! Thought here would probably be best
