Some notes and thoughts to go with artwork for an old project from around 2006 ish.
My son and I used to watch all the old sci fi movies and sword and sorcery epics while he was growing up in Birmingham in the eighties. We particularly liked Jason and the Argonauts, the animated tv shows of a Saturday morning - Star Fleet - Battle Star Galactica - Star Wars of course - and . . well, I could go on and on. But we pretty much devoured it all. It was great fun.
So when the opportunity came where we could work alongside some of those shows and people that inspired us - you'd better believe we took it!

I have posted the color versions of some of the artwork made for the Flying Saucer project shown here over at the website

I have posted the black and white versions of the work here. I believe these versions really are in keeping with the feel and atmosphere of the shows of that time. The colored versions leave a lot to be desired - but we had to do what we had to do. Showing the art [well, some of it at least] here gives the opportunity to show how I prefer it. The foundations here in their raw state certainly imo display a Outer Limits, Twilight Zone, original Flying Saucer 50's B movie atmosphere.
