superstix Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Artist Rick Guidice did some nice conceptual artwork for NASA back in the '70s depicting space colonies of the future. These are some of my favorites. I downloaded them a while back because I'm going to try to print out the hi-res versions for display in my home. :) Full Archive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KY Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 goddammit, we absolutely had this thread a year or less ago. and i posted the art of scott anderson last time too. it's worth mentioning that the dystopian retro-futurism aesthetic is more of a point of origin rather than destination in this guy's work—just a very visually enriched jump-off point for otherwise-surreal works.

chenGOD Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 that one is incredible. seems to be a giant black hole, but looking deeper it may be a planet. i love how it contrasts with the orange sky and the ship. Ummm maybe similar to the eye of jupiter? this shit is incredible Definitely reminiscent of a scene from "Ringworld" Awesome stuff though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Malverde Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Roger Dean, has more of a fantasy feel, definitely a similar atmosphere. He did a lot of 1970s album art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
