Solar Wind, Peter Jones
Perigree/Paper Tiger, 1980
92pp, full color throughout
Peter Jones is a prolific illustration with heavy emphasis on fantasy and sci-fi themes. Much of his best artwork from the 1970s was collected and published in “Solar Wind’ in 1980. Jones is still active today and offers a wider range of illustration including nature subjects and historic military aircraft.
“Solar Wind” is full color throughout, with a brief bio sketch at the beginning. Apart from the lush palette and technical skill, I most appreciate Jones ability to create bizarre and unfamiliar beings and objects. I have no idea what some of the pieces of hardware are,
but the just *look* alien.
My older brother had this book when we were kids in the early 80’s. He passed away just last week and I have to go through things at his house. I am hoping I find this book.
Hello and thanks for sharing…and condolences to you and your family.
It’s remarkable how the little things in our lives will connect us to memories of our loved ones. I hope you find your brother’s book…it’s a keeper.
