About the Artist

Andrew Cameron Stewart is a freelance artist with experience in general graphics and advertising, including posters, video covers, book covers and technical drawing. His particular skills and passion are in high-quality airbrush work.

When he starts a new painting, he sprays the canvas jet black and then draws the design of the painting in white with three or four different airbrushes. Next, he puts in the very bright colors, highlights and shadows. When satisfied, he finishes the work with a protective varnish giving the painting a matt finish.

He has had a lifelong interest in astronomy, fantasy and science fiction. He especially likes space art because it allows him to go anywhere in his mind, opening new doors to the visual imagination. Painting allows him to amalgamate everything he knows from science nature.

Like many space artists, he was influenced as a teenager by the old master of space art, Chester Bonestell, the images that appeared in Astronomy magazine, and books such as Conquest of Space.
