That one of the Discovery's centrifuge, though, has become a favorite, too!<br /><br />One of the recent Space Shuttle mission patches was based directly upon a McCall design he was working on just before his passing.<br /><br />His artwork was technically brilliant, but also captured a certain majesty that inspired awe. I have an old book, Our World in Space, that features tons of his paintings & drawings, as well as a school folder by Mead that had artwork based upon stuff from that book. Most kids my age had superhero or sports team folders, I had plain folders except for that space one, and I kept it all these years. I got the book almost two decades after I got the folder, and was surprised to recognize some of the artwork! (I may have already mentiond this in an earlier comment to a different entry, so apologies if I've been redundant!)<br /><br />McCall also did some World War II paintings & drawings which showed an epic quality to the battlegrounds depicted... I specifically remember some work he did relating to the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack.)<br />CRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-41820216666221289322011-05-27T19:38:54.980-04:002011-05-27T19:38:54.980-04:00Yes, but I need a scanner.
