SCIENCE FICTION
|
...I read it, I write it, and I love it. I can not remember a time when a glimpse
of a space ship did not bring a ripple of excitement within me. As much as I enjoy writing
about about massive cruisers sailing the void of space, I enjoy drawing, painting, and, now,
designing them on the computer. Strip away all the wherefores and the simple explanation
for the images below is--they're fun to do.

Miner
blastoff.jpg (58K) 800x600
A miner steers his ship through an asteroid belt--the loneliness of this profession,
described by many science fiction writers, has always haunted me. This is the first time
I've ever tried to capture that isolation in the vastness of space either with images or words.
Miner2

After completing "Miner," I found I wanted to tell more of this one man's story. Thus this
image of the miner slicing a livelihood out of a chunk of space rock. Each molten glob flying
away from the blast is modeled and not added via a paint program.
Claim Jumper

I'm not certain who is the bad guy or the good guy in this one, but as surely as claim jumping
was a peril for miners on Earth, spacebound miners will face the same threat. The miner's
story is not complete. I still have one more image in mind and will present it here
whenever it is completed.
Starflung

Sheer 1950s science fiction presented here without an inkling of shame--a sleek, cigar-shaped
rocket blasts into space. This is what I
grew up on. By the way, that's me watching from the floating snowball.
The Stars Have Faces

I'm not certain who was the first writer to use the stars as living creatures. Here I play with
that idea, hiding those glowing beings within a nebula--with perhaps a touch of Lovecraft to
their countenance.
