Rite of PassageThis was my very first assignment for Easton Press Books. The story by Alexei Panshin is one of the great masterpieces in Science Fiction.

However, I also wanted to show something more and in the course of painting the duct I realized the duct itself could almost dissolve into space, stars and planets.

It was a simple idea but it worked. |
