When Britain's premier publisher of classic science fiction needs artwork to equal the prose of a Philip K Dick or an Alfred Bester, there's only one place to go. Chris Moore is recognized as a master of hi-tech, hi-sheen science fiction illustration. At a 2004 book launch in London by Orion Publishing, 7 out of the 9 paperbacks and 2 out of the 3 hardback releases carried Chris Moore covers.
Although his book jacket work alone would more than equal the output of half a dozen lesser artists, he's also worked in advertising, designed record sleeves, and provided concept art for the likes of Stanley Kubrick and George Lucas. His tie-in wallpaper designs for THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK graced many a STAR WARS fan's bedroom. His work has even been launched into space, when he was commissioned by the Isle of Man Postal Service to incorporate his jacket art from Arthur C Clarke's 2001 into a special First Day Cover, an example of which was signed in orbit by the crew of the NASA shuttle.
