Kazuaki Saito (1)
Two magazine covers dating from the 70’s.
These alien worlds were painted by Kazuaki Saito for the long-running Japanese publication ‘SF Magazine’.

Hey Kie, Thanks for the link to my site. What I find interesting about these images is the relationship between the abstract and the realistic elements within them.
These illustrations just draw me in. I want to buy this pub. Super nice!
Nice!
The second illustration is similar to “Neonn Genesis Evangelion” aliens (famous SF japan anime: huge aliens with abstract designs).
Hey, no worries for the link Draw – cheers for suggesting Saito’s work in the first place…..
Yeap it’s super-cool stuff….. I think the bright backgrounds are great – looks like Bleach on ink! or similar – Great Colours anyway.
Even though these date from 1971 I’d never tag them retro as they still look so fresh!
They are really amazing!
Agreed on that 🙂
