That's another cool thing about doing this blog: as I search around for stuff to illustrate my posts, I occasionally stumble across something like this that is completely new to me.
ADDENDUM 6/11: I have just discovered that this art appeared on the cover of the sixth issue of Questar magazine, published in February of 1980.
One of the best Sci-Fi-Movies ever! :D Thx for the post.
ReplyDeleteFantastic piece or art! I collect items from The Black Hole and have never seen this painting anywhere. The piece has a more somber tone than other posters from the films since V.I.N.C.E.N.T. (the robot) is not in it and instead we have the zombie-like faceplate of a former Cygnus crew member. Anyone that has not seen the film would probably find the composition puzzling and perhaps that's why it was not used for promotion.
ReplyDeleteThat is freaking fantastic! Thanks for sharing this Chris!
ReplyDeleteI never saw this one before either... very cool image though. Thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteI think this was for the graphic novel adaptation
ReplyDeleteJuan: If it was, it wasn't actually used. At least not in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteIt did appear on the cover of the sixth issue of Questar magazine.
