WHELAN RETROSPECTIVE IN RIVERSIDE CALIFORNIA OPENS FEBRUARY 2017

Escape to thought-provoking realms in a major Michael Whelan exhibition opening at the Riverside Art Museum in February 2017. “Beyond Science Fiction” features 50+ masterpieces from the storied career of a modern master.

Michael Whelan’s pop-culture-defining imagery has undoubtedly influenced many of the top illustrators working today. But his deeply personal work simultaneously resonates with sophisticated art collectors.

“Beyond Science Fiction” offers a unique opportunity to view both his illustration and personal works side by side in a breathtaking show curated by Bob Self of Baby Tattoo Books.

Come join us in celebrating work from an artist whose accomplishments are unrivaled in his field.

FIRST NEW ART BOOK IN 20 YEARS—KICKSTARTER BEGINS MONDAY

To commemorate the exhibition, Baby Tattoo Books will be publishing a collector’s edition of the show catalogue, a 104 page full color art book available in both softcover and hardcover.

A Kickstarter campaign for Beyond Science Fiction: the Alternative Realism of Michael Whelan, launches Monday November 21 at 3PM EST.

Pledge your support, select from two different covers for your copy of the book, receive cool rewards, and even have your name printed in the book’s acknowledgements. Bob and Michael are offering many other rewards including original paintings shown at the exhibition!
