Paintings of Mars by Bryan Versteeg, Chesley Bonestell

While we as humans dream paint pictures of the planets and space exploration and new colonies...will they out there one day in the future paint pictures and dream of return to Earth?

I thought I would share some space artists, some of these artists alone you could spend a full day talking of just one artist and their amazing work. Some used paint, other artists made models and scuplted, some used chalk and pencil, other more modern artists use software and CGI paint programs.

The Concept of Spacestation type ships by Encho Enchev

https://conceptships.blogspot.com/2017/ … nchev.html

A lot of Classic Retro-Futurist concepts from Robert McCall

Lynette Cook's work is very much 'out there' she did a lot of galactic exoplanet stuff before anything was ever imaged I guess this was how guys like Chesley Bonestell would also have to dream up a scene from Titan or some other place without ever knowing the Moon or Planets.

Mark Garlick again does 'out there' galactic exoplanet stuff but also has Sunsets on Mars

For Mars_B4_Moon re new topic

Thanks for your significant investment of time and thought in compiling the opening post in this new topic!

I personally appreciated your mention of Dr. Gerard O'Neill's contribution to the genre, primarily (I suspect) through inspiration of creativity due to the scope of his ideas, and the power of his verbal and written presentations.
