Artist's Comments

I had several inspirations for this illustration.
I wanted to make a piece partly inspired by the old 1950s pin up art and the warplane nose art of the 1940's. Im also a big fan of retro futuristic genre (Blade Runner,Dark City, Brazil) and anything that has an old Flash Gordon style.

As for the girl in the image, she was partly inspired by the old 1960's -70's sci-fi/horror film actress Caroline Munro.

Though I go to you
ceaselessly along dream paths,
the sum of those trysts
is less than a single glimpse
granted in the waking world.

It looks very film noir. Whatever effect you were trying to achieve... you did. Outstanding colour and proportion! Good job.

Screw balance. Unbalanced people are way more interesting. True geniuses forget to put on their pants in the morning.

Hey Pat, I think you out did your self. That transparent blouse is the winner, I don't think they had those kind of blouse back then... a touch of the new millennium.
This is Fav by far.
Thanks for illustrating this incredible piece of art.

:D
