Concept ships' weekly header #50... John Harris!

Kind of hard to believe that I've done fifty headers and how much this blog has changed since its inception.

There were a few artists that I thought of representing for this milestone but John Harris is undoubtedly one of the most skilled traditional science fiction illustrators on this planet. Thanks John and thanks to all of you for checking out conceptships ... Here is to fifty more headers!

I've got the Mass artbook, he's an amazing artist and his life really inspired me for my personal path.

A must have

I loved this art when I was a kid in the 70's. My Sinclair ZX81 manual had his work on it.

Just got the prints I ordered from John Harris' agent, Alison Eldred, and they look amazing! Alison was a real pleasure to deal with, so don't hesitate if you've got the urge to splurge.
