Description

Playboy illustration "What's New in the Universe?" aka "Black Hole" by airbrush master and Tron concept artist, Peter Lloyd.

This image appeared on pp. 140-141 of the March 1978 issue of Playboy magazine, illustrating an article by Richard Rhodes, with the caption, "Forget about those sci-fi movie versions of outer space. Here's what really lives out there."

Approx 22 x 15 inches.
Provenance Playboy Archives

An example of similar work is in Airbrush Action May-June 2000 in an article about Lloyd.

Also published in airbrush books. This is one of his more popular pieces in this style .

I hope one day to remove from current frame and get some new scans out of the plexi. The details and color are impossible to photograph properly framed. Got one to sell?? I am looking for Lloyd and Syd Mead. Thank you!

Peter Lloyd (1944–2009) was a freelance illustrator specializing in advertising and digital artwork. Lloyd was born in England in 1944, but moved to the United States in 1959, where he was the youngest student to graduate from the Art Center College of Design with a master's degree.
Lloyd provided art to several large advertising clients in the 1960s, including National Geographic and the National Football League. He also illustrated for magazines such as Playboy and Esquire. Lloyd also did several famous album covers for the band Kansas.
He held several jobs in the feature film industry during the late 1970s and 1980s, including a job doing conceptual work for Walt Disney Productions in 1982; most notably, Lloyd worked on creating and refining digital effects for the 1982 film Tron. Lloyd has since worked with many other motion picture clients such as Paramount Pictures, often as a conceptual or storyboard artist.
In 1993, Lloyd joined Santa Barbara Studios as an art director for the 1995 film 500 Nations, and later worked extensively with the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum on the 1996 IMAX documentary Cosmic Voyage.
Lloyd has won several awards, including the New York Society of Illustrators Gold Medal Award.

How we see space and outer space phenomena is a great mix of actual science and theoretical.  While fantastical, underneath there is still a lot of truth in how it is represented.
