268-brain-world-dixon – This surreal astronomical illustration features a giant, organic planet or celestial entity shaped like a human brain, complete with detailed gyri, sulci, and branching red blood vessels across its surface. A brilliant, blue-white star bursts from behind the planetary limb, casting a intense flare and illuminating a thin atmospheric edge. The left half of the composition opens into a vast, dark field of interstellar space populated by faint nebulae and distant star clusters. acrylic and gouache, 1984
