Chris Foss “Travelling Cities”

“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 renowned Sci-Fi Illustrator, much imitated in fact sometimes literally, see Turner 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’.
