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 a new post like that every Monday morning.

I've been running the 70s Sci-Fi Art Tumblr since 2013, 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.

Now, I'm working on a new book, The Art of Sci-Fi, which will look at the entire history of the genre. It's out in late 2027.

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 on Monday, plus a paid email on Friday that's related to the research and writing on my latest art book.

You also get access to my index (which makes it easier to comb through my free posts), irregular alerts on good retro art deals, and at the end of the year I'll email you a bunch of cool smartphone lockscreen art.

Free or paid subscribers are equally welcome!

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