"Created as the new cover illustration for the 23rd International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts held March 20-24, 2002, I often described this piece as Jules Vern meets George Lucas.
 
"I can't think of anything more fun than blending elements of vintage aviation along with fantasy and science fiction. Who could ask for more! When I create much of my 3D illustration there is a point where the most amazing thing happens, the piece takes on a life of its own, and with the littlest imagination, it actually almost becomes real as I work. Believe me, it was a wonderful feeling to revisit this warm distant world day after day, where in actuality it was being created in the middle of a cold Denver winter. The event was a huge success and I very much look forward to working again with the IAFA in this upcoming year."
 
Look for this illustration in the upcoming "Illustrator Bible".
