I don’t like everything he painted but this is very good.

There is something sure and solid in all Spanish art. Like they know something we don't.

His stuff makes great 70s-rock album covers (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, etc, etc). But I wouldn’t hang any of it on my wall if it were given to me.

This one is pretty. Would have made a terrific album cover in the 70s. :)

I can’t see the celestial sea urchin.

Here's a lighter color-correction:

I am not sure I would describe that round mass as a sea urchin, but I see the connection with the moon.

Yes, with the lighter color, it is recognizable. Sort of does look like a sea urchin shell without its spines, but I don’t get the moon connection.

The round spots resemble the moon craters.

Thanks somewhere in that picture is a great scifi novel. Flatworld or something like that. Just need some odd orbital mechanics and a plot then I'm good to go.

Do you see the coin spinning? I did initially. Now it’s stopped.

It may be weird to you in this reproduction but you should see the original.

His ‘Last Supper’ is similar. I remember coming around a corner in the National Gallery and viewing the Last Supper. It took my breath away.

See that coin. Just need to do a story on a real flat world the implications are fun SCIFI Network here I come. Do you really just fall off the edge of the world or does gravity pull you around to the other side of the “coin”?
