I have a free email newsletter that I think everyone should follow if they like retro sci-fi, art history, or this blog.
It's like an extended edition of my art book - You learn more about artists I mentioned in passing. I most recently covered Roger Dean.

Hi, I'm looking for the cover of an SF book from the 70's (or maybe 60's ?) The book was about mars, and the cover figured martians looking like soft lichees with very thin legs and arms.
Thanks ;)
I'm drawing a blank on this one! Do any of you know what this cover could be?
Sorry if you’ve posted the answer before and I haven’t seen it. Do you know who did the art for Space Wars - Fact and Fiction, 1980?
It's by Wilf Hardy! He did it first for the cover of "Look and Learn," issue 527, February 1972.

There's only one thing worse than procrastinating on getting gifts for your loved ones, and that's procrastinating on putting together a guide to help out everyone else with all those gifts. It's Dec 12, so you can decide for yourself which I'm doing.
My art book Worlds Beyond Time was included in this holiday book gift guide!
"A perfect gift for those who yearn to explore the infinite possibilities that lie beyond our reality, Worlds Beyond Time is an incredibly curated gallery-in-a-book, alongside ridiculously well-informed, engrossing essays written in Rowe’s warm, chatty, irreverent voice. Recommended for your space cadet friend."
