“Travelling Cities” by British Illustrator and Sci-Fi Artist Chris Foss, used as a cover for “Diary of a Spaceperson” (Paper Tiger, 1990).
Chris Foss (born 1946) is a well renowed Sci-Fi Illustrator, much imitated in fact sometimes literally, see Tuner Prize winning Painter Glenn Brown. It’s fair to say Foss is a genuine visual innovator like Syd Mead or H.R Giger. In fact Chris Foss was also involved in the production of Ridley Scotts Alien, providing the space hardware Ying to Giger’s Bio-mechanical Yang.
