Editor’s letter
to tomorrow’s world
We’re living in the future. Isn’t that how it
feels? Our lives are filled with the sort of
technology advancements that seem as if
they’ve arrived from a place beyond today.
(I wonder if life has always felt this way –
as if we’re already ahead of ourselves?)
When the likes of John Berkey, John
Harris and Peter Elson created their
futuristic imagery, did they believe that, one day, life would become
like how they painted? Would space travel be a daily occurrence; alien
life an accepted existence? And if some of this fiction becomes fact,
would we treat it well? I dread to think.
Sci-fi art clearly represents the fantastical, but it’s also a promise of
what life could be like with a little imagination or discovery. There’s
something about it that’s so… hopeful. Turn to page 38 for an
inspiring wander through an amazing collection of Space Opera sci-fi
art. Both classic and modern artists are represented.
As for you as an artist, you have the most amazing set of digital
tools available to you to help create your art: Photoshop, Painter,
Cintiqs and graphics tablets. Certainly, you should learn how to use
this software and hardware to its best advantage (and from page 58, a
collection of the finest artists share their digital art secrets with you),
but make sure you remember what it is that makes your art unique.
You. Learning an array of techniques will only get you so far. What
happens beyond the Wacom pen is up to you – and it’s this addition
that will future proof your art and make it stand the test of time.
