Peter Elson (3) – Divergence
Ok so I’m proud to present another sample of the work of the legendary Peter Elson.
Peter’s work is typfied by beautiful hi-tech designs juxtaposed with gorgeous technicolour backdrops, as is demonstrated here in this tracking shot high above Jupiter.
It’s been a fair while since I last featured his work so a quick refresh. Peter was one of the UK’s premier Sci-Fi Illustrators during the 70’s and 80’s and is also synonymous (as with other artists here) with the Terran Trade Authority Books.
This image comes from the brand new official site http://www.peterelson.co.uk/ that’s been put together by Designer Martin Lucas and Peter’s sister. A superb treasure with over 300+ large images and the chance to buy exclusive prints, it’s fitting tribute to IMO one of the greatest Sci-Fi Illustrators/Designers ever.

He was an amazing illustrator for sci fi. Saddened me read his bio was that he never enjoyed enduring success. Really blew most of his fellow illustrators away in the TTA books with his photo-like realism and meticulous details. RIP Elson.
