Tourist Attraction
From the book by Hon. Newt Gingrich. Published by Baen Books 1984. In Feb. 1984, just months after I arrived in New York City, Jim Baen gave me the chance to do a space art cover, from someone I've never heard of-a Georgia congressman named Newt Gingrich. Basically, the book laid out a blueprint for future space exploration, starting with the Space Shuttle. It turned out 'Window of Opportunity' was prophetic, but in name only. The window has closed, the space program dead, and, events of the past weeks, are the heartbreaking, sight of the last Space Shuttle over DC, headed to a museum. Gouache on Masonite.
