A drop of dream fuel - The Ship Who Sang by Angus McKie

Over the past week I made this little tribute to one of my favorite YA novel series, "The Tripods" by John Christopher.

Specifically, I was inspired by Tim Hildebrandt's cover art from the 1988 US edition of the first book of the series, "The White Mountains."

The book was probably my earliest exposure to the concept of the "post apocalyptic" setting in fiction, and I was fascinated with the protagonists' descriptions of "ancient" technology we know today but which they have never seen before.

Tim Hidebrandt's depiction of the menacing #tripod was an early inspiration to me to pursue making art, and it will always be how I imagine these hulking monstrosities (although BBC's version looks pretty cool too)!

Don't know who made this, but it's fun if you catch the reference 😂

I signed up for a black-market time-travel tour as soon as I heard about them. (The first rule of Time Club etc.)

There’s an hour long pre-mission briefing on how you must be extremely careful in what you say or do as the smallest event could have future-changing consequences.

After that, they give you back your money, admit that there is no time machine, and tell you “now go and do the smallest thing you can to make the future better”.

I’m not even mad.
