Industry Reviews
His was an expansive world, with technology that was both more advanced and more fantastical than our own; vehicles that were both more stylish and more luxurious; buildings that were both more graceful and geometric; and cities that were simultaneously brighter and darker in tone. His photographs of extraterrestrial life broadened our perspective and encouraged us to look to the stars.

His mental landscapes were futuristic, but they still had a flair for drama and pageantry. There lived among them people who were more handsome, beautiful, muscular, and graceful than we were. In the simplest of situations, they appeared to be performing heroic deeds. - Jesse J., Soldat
