THE PLANET SAVERS (1976) by Michael Whelan, commissioned by ACE for a reissue of the Darkover novel by Marion Zimmer Bradley

The artwork can be found in Wonderworks, Michael’s first art collection, but the book just doesn’t capture the life of the piece.

When you see a Whelan painting in person, the colors jump out at you. It’s an experience you just can’t simulate on the page or computer screen.

Sure his sense of composition is exquisite, and his devotion to anatomy and texture grounds his work in realism. But man, the color…you just have to see that up close to appreciate his mastery.

A preview of the second set of LEFTOVERS & PALETTE GREMLINS original art that will hit our shop later this week.

Often when Michael has paint left over from a work in progress, he will do a small doodle or sketch. A good one may lead to a full scale painting or turn out to be fun on its own.

The gremlins spring from random shapes he sees in the paint on his palette or the mat board that protects his drawing table. We post one each Wednesday in the News section of the website and later on Facebook and Tumblr.

These are not finished works and are priced accordingly. They are custom-framed and ready for hanging—a great opportunity to own an original Whelan at a great price!
