If you’ve noticed the grey-shaded galleries at the top of some pages, you might be wondering what they’re all about? Well wonder no more dear reader!

Some of the images I catalogue are hard to identify or don’t neatly drop into a category. Some are older NASA pieces, but for the most part, they’re art department works created for advertising or publicity. Maybe the best example are the paintings Jack Leynnwood created for Northrop in 1959.

Anyway, now you know.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I don’t know the provenance of this image, all I can say is I picked it up on eBay. It’s mid-sixties and appears to depict a manned space telescope, and it’s gorgeous. So it will live here in the grey bin until I come across any information that will make sense of it.
