Back to retro 70′s Sci-Fi with another explosive illustration from Blog Fav Peter Andrew Jones. This Menacing looking craft has a strong resonance of past military avation tech, which is why I’ve selected it – very Harrier Jump Jet - http://is.gd/1qprC
“To Here and the Easel” dates from 1974 and is scanned from Peter’s glossy compendium Book “Solar Wind” which I’m lucky enough to have a copy of – book is available as well as prints and more at: http://peterandrewjones.net
This will be the last post of the year, so I’m going to end with a sample from my personal 2008 Blog favourite: Peter Andrew Jones. This piece is titled “The Zap Gun” and dates from 1974.
Many thanks for all comments, suggestions and contributions, it’s great to see so many people enjoy all this nonsense as much as I do! Happy New Year!!!

A tropically coloured sci-fi illustration from Peter Andrew Jones, this scan taken from his Book “Solar Wind” published 1980. Solar Wind is available via Peter’s site I believe: http://peterandrewjones.net/iacg.htm or via Amazon / Ebay.
Game Box art produced by Peter Andrew Jones, as used for the 16/8 bit title ‘Artura’, published by Gremlin Graphics in 1989. More on the game here: http://www.mobygames.com/game/amiga/artura
Another example of box art from the early 90s’s, Knights of the Crystallion (great title!) was a third person RPG mix of puzzling solving and exploring made solely for the Commodore Amiga in 1990 - so I think it’s safe to say, fairly obscure. Whats so appealing about this cover? it’s a smoke breathing Crystal Stallion hatching from an egg!
Knights of the Crystallion is an interesting looking Fantasy Game and one I’d never heard of until recently, read more at: http://www.mobygames.com/game/amiga/knights-of-the-crystallion
