Moebius disait que Doré l'avait beaucoup inspiré...

Great Vid!

Awesome stuff, grew up reading many OG scifi novels by all these authors.

Robert McCall instead took the 2001 assignment and later did the murals at the DC Air and Space Museum.

Syd Mead.

Now how the hell do you even engrave that? Master indeed! I am inspired!

Any info about his , techniques,methods, etc,etc. His art speak about wild /nuts people behave sometimes. ❤️😂❤️😂

I would love to be able to like this video since Berkey is a favorite art style but that background hum behind the narration makes it a hard dislike, I can't stay to finish it.

Fantastic job. I remember these illustrations years before star wars came out. And when it did, I thought it was already a success because the designs of the movie were so much like this artists work.👍❤️💯

I was a kid in the '80's and had a USN poster of a future ship.looked like it was on hydrofoil but it reminds of this art. Was that same guy?

The heavy metal segment is genius

Please get rid of the AI sounding voice. I'd rather listen to Spanish and have the auto-translate.

Amazing artist! It's a shame the only books currently available sell for a small fortune online.

cool artist, but the whole video sounds written by AI given some of the phrases used it looks like the wikipedia entry on Berkey was passed through an AI to re-write it. the future of content

Too cool.

Good to have you back.

" ART TEACHERS " are basically Fail artist, gone to teach, and settle for a steady pay check instead of make money with their art,

Very cool video!

Do an video about Masami Kurumada,the creator of Saint Seiya

His understanding of color and light in making imaginary scenarios look convincing plus his genuine love for technology made Berkey the top illustrator of sci-fi space themes.

This is awesome! I LOVE Berkey's work! I have one of his prelim sketches for HOW MANY ARE THERE. It's one of my treasured possessions! Thx for making this!

Nice video, thank you very much.

Even today, I still the conceptual art is still inspirational.

his art is so twisted yet so beautiful (and erotic), they are masterpieces.

What is this voice? Is this AI narration?

Excellent

sector general..... should be a series....

I say this with respect, but this feels like mental gymnastics solely performed to cope with one of the biggest doubt-causing hurdles man has faced forever, and the “We’ll never understand so just go with it” could be easily also be applied to many other theological questions, but often isn’t the concluding statement of those debates, as many of those actually involve explanations which, whether one believes in them or not, still feel like less of (as you said in the video) a copout. Yes, I’m tired of hearing the problem of innocent suffering cited as the #1 reason for people’s atheism. It’s cliche at this point. But that cliche, however, is unfortunately one for a reason. Many of those citing it may just be parroting something from Richard Dawkins or even a comedian like Ricky Gervais, and they may not actually be wrestling with belief or putting effort into seeking truth. Many are, though. And they still have not been satisfactorily met with any explanation, even one that may essentially be saying “We’ll never know.” (We’ll never know many things), and that lack of any sense or reason in these explanations is what rightfully turned them away from belief. I honestly cannot blame them.

I'm seeing similarities with Frank Miller in some of his black and white panels.

Another banger!

As a teenager in the 70’s I grew up reading books with John Berkey’s book cover art. I wore out the Star Wars novel with his book cover, which I used to teach myself how to draw graphic novels. John Berkey’s art has a special place in my collection of artists from my childhood. Twenty years ago I started doing book cover art myself. I credit John Berkey and George Lucas as two of my inspirations.

Real Paintings! REAL ARTISTS!

Inspiring video! I had known dozens of images of John Berkey, without realising they were by the same person, including the cover of the first book I ever read, Star Wars. What is brilliant about his style is that he still leaves room for mystery, bringing some of the sensitivities of the better side of fine art, to science fiction art.

I appreciate your time and energy in celebrating this artist's work but the narration voice is a deal breaker for me. I'm guessing it's AI?

Thank you my friend!

As a kid, i saw so many covers of sci-fi books, novels, etc. and now know Berke was the artist. As a fan of Asimov, i had no idea Berke did a self-portrait in 'The Caves of Steel'.

I've loved Berkey's art since first encountering it, I think it was in "Omni" magazine. Not as "nuts-and-bolts" as was a lot of sci-fi illustration, more a sense of painterly grandeur which just happened to focus on technology. Similar to Syd Mead, but not as slickly sterile. Closer to Chris Foss, not in technique but in visual drama. I wish sci-fi movies would lean more into those ideas and visuals, instead of pumping out repetitions of Alien's 'Nostromo" (as much as I also love Ron Cobb's designs, they've almost become the film industry's go-to solution for everything). We got a taste of Foss's work in "Guardians of the Galaxy", but that was merely an appetiser, having full-on Berkey and Foss space operas would breathe new energy into the genre.

I can only call his style dreamlike realism. What an amazing painter!

Great video. You ought to do an episode on Syd Mead.

We need an animation (and for that matter a video game!) with the aesthetics of John Berkey's art style.

Well, you can see where the Expanse novels got their cover inspiration!

Un excelente video y un artista impresionante como siempre

Great video! Can see where all the AI generated images used for space ambient music videos on YT lately have been getting their cues. Proud now to know the original master, Mr Berkey!

I had that edition of Starman Jones and several Berkey posters on my walls.

If you like this check out Chris Foss, thank me later!

Could you make a video of Mossacannibalis? I consider him one of the best artist of the "digital" era, he's incredibly good portraying cultures around the world and grounded fantasy illustrations based on the exageration of the traditions and aesthetic from different nations

Berkey is one of Sci-Fi illustration's great artists. He inspired much of my own design work. Thanks for the exhibition.

It’s interesting that Bakshi means “Shaman, sorcerer” in the Kazakh language.
