This is magnificent! I've been reading the Foundation books and it's such a strong series. I'm on Foundation's Edge now, and it's cool to see the changes in Asimov's style 40 years after the the first book. He was always a great writer, but his prose aged like fine wine.

HARI (1985) Acrylic on Canvas - 32” x 20” Hari Seldon, the benevolent grand architect of the next millennium is seen here against the splendor of Trantor at the height of its power. It is a world completely sheathed in metal: one gigantic city that is the hub and nerve center of the Empire. 1/5 🪐📚

Whenever I read books from an author that was writing for 30+ years and you can see how they hone their craft it makes me sad for the authors that died young, such as Robert E. Howered. Imagine reading a Conan or Soloman Kane style series from that guy after he'd been writing for 40 years.
