BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
$ 4,500.00
18x24
Acrylic & Alkyd
This is the way the painting used on the cover really looks. It
was painted after I painted the Viper cover, and the boss of my
art director saw the big white booster plume of the Viper and
decided that the Galactica cover should have the same effect.
I pointed out that the engine glow of the Galactica was only ever
seen from rear views, but he didn't care. He thought it would
imply motion. I tried to explain that this ship is essentially
like an aircraft carrier. Oh well. So they got a glow on their
cover. The bottom line is the client always gets what they want.
However, below the bottom line is the signature line, and that's
where I get what I want. I have restored the painting to the way
I intended it in the first place.
