Wow! He even revisits some of the stippling technique here to bring amazement and wonder in the stars during the height of the space race.

Aren't at least half the high risebuildings in the world? Guns? Well, its easily explainable as most of the people who designed in history, or had the cash to build are male. It does look sexual. Don't all rockets?

Never saw this one before! It's so nice to see 'new' artwork by a favorite artist.
