(Note that my camera just couldn't capture the delicacy, vibrancy and overall tone of this picture)
The picture above is an untitled work by John Blanche from 1978. As far as I can ascertain it is unpublished although there is always a chance someone will prove me wrong. I refer to it as 'girl on a planet' for obvious reasons. An alien girl in diaphanous clothing appears to be standing on a small planetoid which is then superimposed over another much larger planet. The surface of the latter planet is completely covered by miniscule buildings and activity with small spaceships and other things exploding into the air above the planet. It is very much a sci-fi illustration that would have seemed ideal for a paperback cover in the late 1970's, by one of the then popular Science Fiction writers.
