70s Sci-Fi Art

Ron Cobb’s ornithopter concept for Jodorowsky’s Dune

'The Defeat Of The Sardaukar,' by John Schoenherr, for Frank Herbert's 'Dune'

John Schoenherr. I love this artist -- he pops up more than a few times in my art book Worlds Beyond Time

I'm giving a virtual presentation on 70s sci-fi art history and you're all invited! It's this Tuesday — August 8, at 3 pm PST / 6 pm EST.

Give Third Place Books your email address here and they'll send a zoom link.

I'll be covering a lot of art and facts that didn't make it into my book, too! Like this John Schoenherr homage in the 2021 Dune movie. Plus I'll chat with my friend @vandroid-helsing. It'll be a good time! Sign up here!
