This is amazing!

As do I, and all right-thinking people.

I miss Sam!

It really is! I love that book a lot and the movie as well, even though it departs from the truth even more than the "nonfiction novel." Spacey even looks like Williams, although he's about two feet shorter.  ;-)

Love it!

oh, MAN, straight into my veins...

oh, MAN, straight into my veins...

But, gosh, now you have to get it ALL back. :-)

A true classic!

Nice one, John!

This is really beautiful, and Rockwell-worthy!

Beautiful. We don't see nearly enough Punchatz on this site.

Very cool. Many years ago, I put in a bid for a Chesley Hugo -- it was pitted badly because CB kept it in his bathroom(!).

REALLY nice piece, Patrick.

ROBOTECH!

Thanks, Sean!

Thanks for the info, Monty!

Thanks!

Very nice, congrats!  Love Thole!

Thanks, Glynn! Yeah, the whole thing is woven out of tight pen and ink that's very hard to pick up on camera.

The auction that changed my life, and my wallet!

Particularly nice one, this....

MAN I love these retroish pieces by Miller!

I've got a headache THIS big, and it's got Excedrin written all over it!

Well said, and that mirrors my sentiments as well.

Not at all, although I do have a few acquaintances that spent their years there... Just a freelance space kid.

I think you're right. Bok used Conte crayon a lot and this resembles that texture.

Realy wonderful piece.

A great story, too!

that's great! I hadn't noticed it!

WOW. That is all.

Gorgeous potpourri of space references!

Did you buy out the publisher's stock?

Loving this stream of prelims!

Like this one a lot -- something very Emshish about it.

gawjus!

I love it when Ron goes retro like this--

When my parents died, I took over their pup, who of course I loved. His name was Bandit and he looked EXACTLY LIKE THIS.

Really, this is kind of eerie.

Beautiful piece!

By the way, I'm personally convienced that this story had a significant effect on Ron Hubbard's magpie mind -- it almost reads like a blueprint for $cientology as Elron dreamed of it...

Amazing sensawonder!

We have excellent taste!

Oh, man, I've loved this one for a long time!

Thanks, Victor!

I'm reading the story right now, savoring the acrid smell of decaying pulp paper...

I was somewhat puzzled by the chicken motif, but damned if it ain't right there in the story: "They were great, transluscent, helmet-shaped things.... The comblike crest stood a full five feet from the ground.... At a point just forward of the top sprouted a spray of from six to eight tentacles, like a wriggling plume for the helmet." So there you have it, Valigursky rendered it with absolute fidelity to the story.

I do love a wheeled space station!

Another great one, Markus!

This is REALLY nice, Markus!

Well. Just one of the most significant paintings in the history of SF illustration, is all.

Thanks, John, hope all is well!
