This has generated some interesting comments. Some more context on the quote. There's some ambiguity on who said it (Frank Herbert? Ray Bradbury? Theodore Sturgeon? All of them?) and the exact wording.https://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/10/19/prevent-the-future/

@MichaelWhelan THAT PAINTING made such an impression on my editor at Ace that when I handed her a novel that was an explicit tribute to "Friday" in 2007 ("Saturn's Children") she briefed the art director to commission a homage to your painting.Unfortunately what they horked up was this … (I was not amused!)

Worlds of IF (August 1971)Love the simplicity, but I'm left with questions about how it works, there's no saddle, no reins etc. Are they just friends? He's just giving his lizard friend a scritch?Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/1971-08_IF#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

@scotlit @cstross @bookstodon It’s all fun and games until you realize the very large Stilton was giving off heat like a Jaguar engine and the veins were beginning to glow the green of Krantzberg-Godel Spongiform Encephalopathy. Wines should be allowed to breathe, but cheeses are routinely denied any such consideration. This was a cheese that was keen on taking liberties with cognition and perhaps soon geometry. The pamphlet the government sent out some months ago was long discarded but its recommendation that all dairies were required to be provisioned with shotguns now seems prescient. The countryside had enough sources of hot air, and no need for the cheeses to begin gibbering.

@Ayreonaut @MichaelWhelan It reminds me the 80s artwork of bands like Virgin Steele or Saxon. Love it. And now listening to the first song, and it's pretty good!!

@SFFMagazineCovers Do ballerinas wear heels?

@SFFMagazineCovers maybe the ship's called "Ever Given II"?

@SFFMagazineCovers "naked apes IN COLOR!" sounds more like another type of magazine... and those chimps are not naked - they're wearing hats and... belts?!

@marco Yes, my only card art for MTG was for the Nalathni Dragon which was a controversial card given away at DragonCon later distributed with Duelist magazine. I was also commissioned for a cover for InQuest magazine. You can read more about my brush with MTG here:https://theartofmichaelwhelan.substack.com/p/magic-from-the-past

Astounding vol. 37, no. 4 (June 1946)This is such a montage/collage of things, it's hard to make out what's happening or the scale. Are the spherical ships causing the weather event(s) or merely reporting on them?Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Astounding_v37n04_1946-06_cape1736#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Worlds of IF (August 1972)Simple, powerful, mysterious. What's the figure in the background doing? Attacking them? Holding them aloft?
