Ever have a day when you felt quite spacey? I’ll show you a guy right here who felt that way for a while. This is illustrator and colorist Angus McKie. He’s done a bunch of covers for paperback science fiction novels including some fabulous works in Stewart Cowley’s “Terran Trade Authority” illustrated books. Along with a group of other lovingly talented draw artists of his generation, he developed a whole spaceships in heavily detailed backgrounds. Then, most importantly of all I think, he illustrated the entire “So Beautiful, So Dangerous” segment of the 1981 animated epic Heavy Metal.

Take a peekie peek at a slightly edited (for boobage, if I’m not mistaken) version of “So Beautiful, So Dangerous” from Heavy Metal, then head on down to the gallery below for a bunch of pics made by the man we be speakin of right now, Angus McKie. And give him a high five for excellence.
