21st Century Foss

The Chris Foss Picture Gallery takes me right back to my teens, when I was discovering new worlds by the week. In the 70s and early 80s it seemed as if about 50% of the science fiction books I bought featured the huge, colourful machines visualised by Chris Foss on their cover. Not that I was complaining: Foss got to me at an impressionable age and pretty well defined my notion of what a properly futuristic spaceship should look like.

I'd really like to see Chris Foss do a set of covers for Iain M Banks' Culture novels. There's nothing wrong with the covers on the UK editions, but in my book (so to speak) Foss was born to depict a GSV.
