227-universe-between-dixon - This surreal, symbolic science fiction illustration features a transparent, levitating three-dimensional cube floating above a churning blue ocean. Each visible facet of the cube reveals a different cosmic or planetary reality: the top face shows a detailed spiral galaxy swirling in deep space, the rear-facing panel depicts a desolate, canyon-carved desert world under an orange sky, and the bottom face glows with a brilliant, molten golden energy from which a single human hand emerges, reaching upward into the center of the geometric volume. In the background, a lush terrestrial coastline with dramatic forested cliffs and misty waterfalls sits beneath a bright blue sky filled with scattered white clouds. cover for novel by Alan E. Nourse, acrylic and gouache, 1986
