266-transition-dixon – This surreal science fiction illustration features a large exploratory spacecraft with twin cylindrical fuel tanks and dish antennae firing its thrusters near a blue, cloudy planet.

The intricate anomaly glows with vibrant shades of orange, yellow, magenta, and electric blue, distorting the surrounding starfield. cover for Vonda McIntyre novel, fractal-like intelligent nebula hovers behind starship and earthlike world, acrylic and gouache, 1990
