Other SF Art

The illustrations of science fiction books generally are colorful and exciting, ranging from the slavering monsters and brass-brassiered spacewomen of the pulp era through more modern works, whether realistic, strikingly abstract, or softly evocative.  While Heinlein happens to be the focus of my most unified collection, the shelves of my library of course boast plenty, plenty more books than that, each covered by some sort of painting.

Below this beautiful piece by the incomparable Jim Burns (whose work is available for sale here), I have links to other the cover art of miscellaneous paperbacks—eventually to be expanded and further categorized, actually—and to the art of my minor collection of large, lavishly illustrated SF books, along with art from the occasional old pulp magazine and other oddities as well.

...and signed as well.
And, come to think of it, for some original Jim Burns works rather than prints...well, see my Other SF Art - Paperbacks, Etc. page and my Other SF Art - Big Illustrated Books, Flights of Fancy page!
