In the bookshelf just across the room I have two big books of Michael Whelan art and I have never, until this moment, had the dots connected.<br /><br />Once again, I owe you thanks, my friend!M. D.

"Our Universe" I'm pretty sure it was called. Got it as a Christmas present and used it to help write a report on the Moon for school and copied these figures to help learn how to draw anatomy.<br /><br />Thanks for the nostalgic blast from the past, not to mention the artist's name.Erik Johnson Illustratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09790353863682102770noreply@blogger.com
