Still sorting through a box of old LP's for Amazon. I've come across 2001 Space Oddysey and never realised that it was signed by the late great space artist Robert McCall. We've probably all had a McCall in our Sixties homes without even knowing it! A beautiful painting. The trajectory of the Moonship is just amazing.
Another LP I've got is this Sound of Sight. I recognised the cover artist immediately. Do you? It's Jack Davis. I remember his fantastic cartoony style on those wonderful colour 'You'll Die Laughing' monster sketch gum cards in the late 60's. I've still got some I think!
Love McCall, great stuff.
ReplyDeleteI had seen a lot of his stuff in my time but only found out his name and his NASA connections a couple of months back.
One of the great space artists.
I mostly remember Jack Davis from his work at Mad Magazine. Great caricatures and film spoofs.
