I remember, years ago, one of those Walter Foster books on cartooning, gave advice for collecting pictures for the image morgue. The guy said, y'know, collect pictures of everything you might need — lawnmowers and lampposts, buckets and barstools—not just the things you have a weakness for, like (in his case) pretty girls and streamlined trains.
My picture morgue has diversity alright, but I too have a weakness—for pretty girls and galaxies as seen from other worlds. I hardly ever find the two subjects together, but here at least I get double the galaxy— a cool painting by David A. Hardy of colliding galaxies seen over a civilization influenced by their privileged view. Hardy's website can be found here.
I've been wanting to digress from StarHawks, just for a bit, to have a little break from black and white, but I didn't want to disturb the mood too abruptly. So how about this magnificent distant planet view of a galaxy rise, painted by Bob Eggleton, entitled Alone.
