Salinas Blanch – En la Arena Estelar
This is another post featuring Spanish (I believe) Artist Salinas Blanch, producer of many excellent Sci-fi book covers during the 70′s – I love this super punchy style, and definitely doable these days with Adobe Illustrator’s fancy blending / meshing tools I reckon…
If anyone knows any more about Salinas Blanch, please drop us a mail…
