This is how the comet appeared in several apparitions near the South Pole. This was the frontispiece in COMET by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan (American Edition) and was the cover of the book for the international editions, and the paperback version.

Voyager maps of the moon show a huge crater named Herschel at 2 deg. S and 90 deg. West--exactly the position to get this view. Future explorers will see this magnificent angle of the majestic rings. Saturn will always be in this position from this spot, only changing in phase, as Mimas is locked in position in its rotation. Unsigned print overruns now available on our

He used only a model, since there were not many photos, and there never will be of this angle! In this view only possible through the eyes of the artist, the shuttle is about a minute into flight, doing nearly Mach 1. This painting fooled even those at NASA, who kept searching their files for this "photo" upon seeing it on the cover of the L5 NEWS. This was the cover of our 1996 Kim Poor Calendar, now itself a collector's item. Unsigned print overruns now available on our

Working closely with the Voyager spacecraft imaging team, this work took months to complete. It shows a crater on the polar region of Dione, Saturn's fourth major moon. The white streaks are fissures filled with fresh ice from beneath, and were caused by a cometary impact on the reverse side of the moon. Dione is composed of water ice, and the surface gravity is so low, you could throw a rock into orbit. Unsigned print overruns now available on our

Globular Clusters are ancient stellar "beehives" which roam in a halo around the galaxy. They may contain up to a million stars, and are a good target for binoculars. They consist of very old stars, formed at the same time as the core of the galaxy.

As a commissioned print, we announced the upcoming release of the print in December 1992. We took orders for the print until January 31, 1993. The edition size was then determined by the number of orders received, in this case 420. The print was therefore sold out upon release.

A large print, this work showcases the Pleaides star cluster (or Seven Sisters) in Taurus. A bright, sparkling, tiny cluster of blue stars unmistakable on winter nights. The Pleiades are seen from a hypothetical planet 50 light years distant.

This is a summer monsoon thunderstorm in Arizona, which is heat-driven, and usually occur in the afternoon, creating havoc, a stunning sunset, followed by clear summer nights. Occasionally, they continue into the evening on particularly a hot day, as seen here.

This photorealistic piece was based upon the IAAA Death Valley trip to Ubehebe Crater in the north part of the valley. It is a short edition, and was the cover of the ASTRONOMY magazine calendar a few years back.
