a lot of people are going to be in need of a reminder that life still moves on and we have the choice to stand back up again, but it falls entirely on them to keep going. At first it feels like we’re the victim, they deserve this what is coming and I want vengeance; but truth, forgiveness and building the next 1,000 yrs is all we should focus on. They may have created a monster, but we decide to be gentle and kind knowing very well the potential of our power. • • • Posted @withregram • @retroscifiart “Fantastic Planet” (1977) by English painter Peter Elson (1947-1998). Elson was an English science fiction illustrator whose work appeared on the covers of numerous science fiction paperback novels, as well as in the Terran Trade Authority series of illustrated books. Elson, whose illustrations often placed detailed, brightly liveried spacecraft against vividly coloured backgrounds, influenced an entire generation of science fiction illustrators and concept artists. “The kind of cover art that Peter and many of his contemporaries produced will probably not be seen again. It was a golden age of SF and Fantasy illustration. You can still find the covers, sometimes in reprints, mostly as second hand copies at boot sales. They shine out for their magical ability to take you into a world you can scarcely imagine. It’s what great art always used to do, and Peter was a great artist”, from Elson’s official website. Born in Ealing, west London, he died of a heart attack in Skegness while working on mural paintings for Butlins. Most of his original work is now owned by his sister. I highly recommended delving into this artist. I published much of its content in the early days of retroscifiart. He deserves a reshare 💚 #peterelson#peterelsonart#peterelsonartist#landscape#beauty#awesome#natural#art#artist#draw#painting#sun#light#colorful#retroscifi#ufo#clouds#eyes#amazing#beautiful#nature#design#artwork#style#drawing#sunset#scifi#scifiart#ovni#ufo (at Cartagena, Colombia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ_eVCpM3PK/?utm_medium=tumblr
