Freelance illustrator, John Berkey, wasn’t even a sci-fi fan but his work shaped how we’d envision space travel forever after. In the 1960s he did some work for NASA, painting astronauts etc. He also created book covers for iconic sci-fi authors Isaac Asimov and Philip K Dick, and filmmaker George Lucas used his work as inspiration for the look of Star Wars.
