Chris Foss Science Fiction Art - Framed! In September

Genre Books 2024-09-30 | My final video for "Framed! In September" - a month-long reading event dedicated to art and artists. Today, a very short montage of the Science Fiction art of Chris Foss, instantly familiar to any reader of SF in the 70s, 80s and beyond. (Fun fact, he also did the illustration for "The Joy of Sex", probably down to his knowledge of the technical side of art and all those docking ports). Accompanied by my final submission for Prompt 3 - my Spotify profile below in case anyone's interested :)

The prompts:
1) read a book about art (fiction or nonfiction)
2) experience art (live performance or museum/gallery visit)

Bonus prompt: create art or tell us about a work of art that has special meaning to you
Your "Framed! In September" hosts are:
