a supernova blazes behind a doomed earthlike planet in this cover sketch for Asimov's "The End of Eternity." A heavily cratered lunar surface occupies the foreground under a scene of catastrophic cosmic destruction. Just above the horizon hangs a blue, cloud-covered world resembling Earth, directly positioned in front of a cataclysmic stellar explosion. A massive supernova erupts behind the blue planet, blasting turbulent clouds of brilliant orange, red, and golden gas outward into a dense field of distant stars. acrylic and gouache 1992
