Manhattan Futuresk
Lots and lots of stock photos, color manipulation, and editing. A heightened sense of reality and over saturation of color to suggest a bright future.
The Olde Weapons Shoppe
I tried a little experiment this time. I recreated a famous Kelly Freas cover from Astounding. I have a few deliberate differences. Larry Niven’s favorite weapon, the Gyro Jet Rocket Pistol was added, and my wall is green hardwood from an alien planet with alien plaques describing the items. Because why would aliens use pegboard...
Ancient Astronauts
I love the spacecraft possibilities of water towers. Here’s one posing as a flying saucer over an Aztec pyramid. Not one of my more complicated pieces but fun in its own way.
Manhattan Futuresk
Lots and lots of stock photos, color manipulation, and editing. A heightened sense of reality and over saturation of color to suggest a bright future.
Nebula Station
Photoshop and lots of stock photos. Heavy use of squid and insects as aliens.
Captain Future
Originally used for the cover of Amazing Stories WorldCon 2018 Preview issue sent as a Kickstarter Bonus to our backers. Created using many simple clipart images to create a heroic cover.
Chinatown after the Flood
A was looking at a photo of Venice and thought about what will NYC look like when the waters rise. Again, lots of stock photos, oversaturation, and enormous amounts of editing.
The Crash
A pilot cracks up during an attempted landing on an alien world with a corrosive atmosphere. Stock photos (the ship was a water tower!) and editing fun.
Alien Planet
For Amazing Stories’ Kickstarter we needed several background images for the video. I was reasonably pleased with this typical alien planet I put together. Two desert scenes, photos of Saturn and one of its moons all composited together with a little morning mist.
Deadnaut
A murder mystery in spaaaace! NASA stock pics, Photoshop fun, a manipulated skull (notice – it’s distorted to look like the skull of a grey alien). Also, fun with polar coordinate image conversion.
Lunar Trash
Unpublished – a lunar resident finds a discarded glove amongst the trash of early lunar workers. Stock photos and NASA stock photos.
