SciFi and Fantasy Art The Wooden Spaceships by Alan Gutierrez


	Another 'oldie' from 1988, from the cover of the book by Bob Shaw, published by Baen Books. The story is about two worlds connected by a common atmosphere (like an hourglass) and with a medieval society using airships to explore the other connected world. Oil on masonite.

2 Sep 2007	Unaussprechliche Kultist	Loading... Aha, The Ragged Astronauts trilogy! And that IS the Norwegian flag. Good job, sir. Alan Gutierrez replies: "Thanks! I wished I'd done that last Bob Shaw book in the trilogy..."
3 Sep 2007	Invicta	Loading... This is oil paint? Well you could have fooled me, I thought it was photoshop! Alan Gutierrez replies: "Thanks! Actually, these days, I prefer PS to traditional painting...So much easier!"
20 Dec 2007	David Michael	Loading... This is your other truly great picture, in my opinion. The story behind it, and that it tells, is just so COOL. I want to ride in an airship like that! I want to command a fleet of them to explore distant worlds! They're definitely the coolest airships I've ever seen, taking inspiration from the best of the great sailing ships (ah, so classic! So beautiful!) and adding such wonderfully fantastical twists. They're uniquely and SPECIFICALLY designed. And then the colors and clouds, as usual, set the perfect mood of rising beauty and adventure. It's operatic in scope. The possibilities are endless. Just bring me that horizon...
20 Jan 2008	Emelie Gidlund	Loading... Amazing! I’m stunned
26 Apr 2008	Elrin	Loading... I want that airship too!
26 Apr 2008	Twyla Bendyna	Loading... wow, that is awesome! the lighting is so well done, too. I love how the sides of the ship get the 3-D effect!
26 Apr 2008	Emma Richardson	Loading... Although I know it’s from the Ragged Astronauts trilogy, It also reminds me of another book I’ve read by David Cunningham... also involving airships. But a truly great piece of art, I especially like the angle and light effect. (and of course the Norwegian flag!)
24 Sep 2008	Anonimity Incarnate	Loading... WOOOOOOOAAAHHHH!!!! I WANT ONE.... sorry, could’nt contain myself, Good job. this is just EPIC!!! I CANT BELIEVe.... sorry again.
30 Apr 2009	Elise Brisinger Blackburn	Loading... Where can I get one of these, how do you fly it, and how much does it cost?
24 Dec 2009	Marco J. Cavet	Loading... I really like these steampunk style pictures.
