This image depicts a private spacecraft and a future race car parked atop a mile high building. This is an image from my 1990 calendar done in 1988 using markers, air brush and acrylic paint. Sports car was added recently.

Thank you all so much for the comments!

To answer some of the questions:

All concept sketches were hand done using Verithin black pencils and Prisma cool gray markers.

Spacecraft illustration was done before I learnt to use computer so all elements were hand drawn as well with markers, pencils, air and paint brushes. As Photoshop tools are getting better and better, I am drawing more and more on computer.

Awesome designs/drawings Al. Reminds me a lot of Syd Mead.

Good to have someone w/ your experience in here....
