I try not to post without being able to name the artist but it's nice to know the collective audience can always help to fill in a blanks and identify the talent.<br /><br />Interesting reuse of art. Do you think this is a real Holiday Inn promotional image or a bit of internet cheekiness. The date of the top image says 1973, which would be before the book publication.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01906649879585791348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253387388436808262.post-43209178593493184282016-02-29T17:35:09.040-08:002016-02-29T17:35:09.040-08:00Somebody has pasted a Holiday Inn sign into Rick G...Somebody has pasted a Holiday Inn sign into Rick Guidice's painting of a lunar mass driver for NASA, Photo No. AC78-0330-1. See the unsullied version <br /><a href="http://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/news/releases/2004/moon/moon_images.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />NASA images are copyright-free but it is polite to attribute the artist where possible. I believe this was an illustration for <i>Space Settlements: A Design Study</i>, NASA publication SP-413, published in 1977 (and <a href="http://www.nss.org/settlement/nasa/75SummerStudy/Design.html" rel="nofollow">now online</a>). That was nearly 40 years ago but Guidice's paintings still turn up frequently to accompany futuristic articles about space. These days he's an interior designer; his NASA days are long behind him.Bill Higgins-- Beam Jockeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421296937655308083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253387388436808262.post-76467233418273313612015-10-02T15:40:00.630-07:002015-10-02T15:40:00.630-07:00With you all the way, brother.With you all the way, brother.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01906649879585791348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253387388436808262.post-44636737759373180422015-09-30T14:30:13.645-07:002015-09-30T14:30:13.645-07:00It is amazing how much hope there was back during ...It is amazing how much hope there was back during the apex of the Space Race for colonization and a real future in space...now we have Smartphones.
