NASA concept art by Don Davis, 1975.

Did you ever read those fun late-2000s-era art blogs, where some rando would post about any strange tangent they felt like? My goal is to deliver new post every Monday morning.

I've been running the 70s Sci-Fi Art Tumblr since 2013 (It's at 400K followers! And people say nobody's on Tumblr), and it helped me land an art book deal. Worlds Beyond Time came out in 2023, featuring 100+ artists, 400+ artworks, and lots of jokes and fun facts about cover art history from me tying it all together. It's been reviewed by the Financial Times and Publishers Weekly, and I was interviewed by Boston NPR.

What's the difference between Free and Paid?

I offer a single paid tier, for $5/month. If you pick it, you'll get the normal free weekly email, plus an occasional, really long, heavily researched paid post, along with access to my index (which makes it easier to comb through my free posts), irregular alerts on good retro art deals, and my deep appreciation.

To be honest, though, you'll get 90% of my best stuff on the free tier – I like to think of my paid option as a way to support me, and not a paywall that keeps my art curation locked away. Free subscribers are always welcome!

You can also drop a one-time donation, if you want.
