About the Artwork:
This is a flashback to 1970s sci-fi illustration, which keeps fueling my inspirations. In my youth I was obsessed with a depiction of what lifeforms a satellite visiting the gaseous atmosphere of Venus may find. Hence, I wanted to evoke some cosmic horrors… and what could be more horrifying than exploring the skies of an unknown planet and encountering a massive squid? – Franc Kaiser
