Citizen of space

"All the cover artists just quit! Hey...you have a kid in kindergarten right now, don't you?"

Captured in the wild, so the image is skewed. BTW, This is the December 1, 1955 printing by Ballantine. I thought this was going to be mid 60's artwork.

Representational art is for the NON-citizens in space.

>2 EndofDiskOne: The proles and immigrants don't DESERVE anything but reproductions of real objects.

Although it does say "citizen", singular, so maybe only one guy (and any number of kids) gets this kind of work.

Early Richard Powers1, perhaps the founding figure of the "blobs, sometimes spiky, and swirls WTF am I looking at" school of SF art.

(Some of his covers are actually pretty good surrealist art. Don't look at them for information on the contents, though.)

>4 bam2001: The ones on that page are mostly closer to representational than this one. They're identifiably SF thingy objects, as opposed to these blobs.

Thanks, I prefer to be a citizen *not* in space, but on terra firma, rather.
