This image, taken by the MPG/ESO telescope, shows the Orion Nebula in stunning detail. I was surprised to see that the image was taken from an earthbound telescope. Amazing!
Another aspect of space photography is the alteration of color in the photograph. For a very good dissection of this technique please visit space artist Don Davis' explanation here: http://www.donaldedavis.com/2002_addons/DEEPCLRS.html
I began to delve into the world of illustration in 2001 and recently was one of the winners of the Illustrators of the Future contest. I heartily encourage any aspiring illustrator to enter the contest as it is free and gives you the chance to meet and get advice from very established authors and illustrators in the science fiction and fantasy field.
I was also fortunate enough to win 3rd place in the 65th Annual Connecticut Artists Exhibition in 2008 and a Judge's Choice Award at the 2004 World Science Fiction Convention art show for "Final Frontier." I was honored when Diamond Comics featured me as their star artist of the month in March 2006. I am working on various special art projects and enjoy showing my art at art shows and, of course, Free Comic Book Day!
I am most interested in science fiction art and hope you'll enjoy stopping in at the blog occasionally.
To purchase a print of any of my illustrations that you see on the blog or on the internet, just contact me at: randallensley@hotmail.com Signed, framed prints available.
