Transcript excerpt

This is a painting. This is a painting. This is a painting. These are the romantic, apocalyptic, cosmic sci fi art pieces of Bruce Pennington. Acrylics, oil, airbrush, not digital, not AI, actual paint. Pennington is one of a few artists that completely defined the look of retro tier to eighties sci fi art. His work was so unbelievably prolific. It was featured on major sci fi and fantasy book covers like Dune, electronic space agey music like this, and so many other pulpish sci fi and fantasy works. What I like about these pieces is they are somehow both grim and ominous and also romantic and cosmic. I both want to live there and never go there in my life. The colors are like death and scorched earth and burning sun, but also somehow luminous and interplanetary and futuristic and warm. He has planets made of bone and these heroes that might also be villains and there's just this like air of mystique and and mystery about it all. He is and probably forever will be my favorite artist of all time And I just want you to sit with these for a second.
