I missed drawing this guy since my minimalist take a long ago for this very blog. Thank you, Mitch, for giving me chance to draw him again.

Hope you guys dig it :)

Cheers,

SPACE 1999

Great pick, Chris!!! :D

When I hear the word SPACE the first thing that comes to mind is SPACE:1999, a show I used to watch when I was a kid and toally LOVED it :)
Starring Martin Landau, I didn't miss one episode of the saga of these guys stranded on the Moon which - kicked out by its orbit around the Earth - is now fluctuating in the deep space. Plus: EAGLES! (the ships, not the band ;))
Good, good stuff :)

Anyhow, decided to do my tribute in the same vintage sci-fi magazine style I did Jeff Hawke and Dan Dare previously. Hope you guys dig it :)

Cheers,
Francesco

SPACE by Chris Samnee

This is just my li'l ode to the magic that Wally Wood did on the Spirit in Space stuff : )

And you can check out the (very rough) pencils for this HERE if you're so inclined.

Man, I loved this show (along with Clutch Cargo) when I was a kid growing up in the 60's. I didn't know who Alex Toth was at the time, but I dig the art just the same. Little known fact about the show and the human lips spliced in, was that the lips were one woman, who lip-synced the audio track by putting her mouth inside a tube that had lights and the camera. This kept the lip from moving around too much making it easier to use later. Unlike when Conan O'Brian does it where the actor tries (fails) to not move. The result is the lips travel all over the place on the photo of the celebrity that they're making fun of. But then, this makes it fun, so there's that.

SPACE by Ron Salas



Stephen Hawking's birthday was this week so I felt it apt to draw him for this week's topic.
Whatever you think about the guy, he's an inspirational figure and made a huge difference in the way we think about the universe.
