Done for ASTRONOMY magazine, 1995. A theory says a brown dwarf, the sun's dark companion, wanders inside the Oort cloud beyond Pluto, disturbing cometary masses to fall towards the inner solar system.
The Dark Presence 		This piece details the concept of "crater saturation", where new craters simply obliterate older ones.

 An Earthlike planet, but with few large bodies of water.
Earthoid

 Many newly discovered extrasolar planets are several times the size of Jupiter, large enough to support Earthlike moons.
Extrasolar 		A large piece, this one was done for the cover of the book of the same name by David Brin and Gregory Benford. It has a black suede mat with a 1 1/2" wide frosted blue pewter "scoop" frame.
Heart of the Comet
This is how a comet looks while still cold and in the outer solar system. The sun is still too far away to start melting ices and volatiles to form the comet's distinctive tail. For ASTRONOMY magazine, 1994.
The Naked Comet 		Another of our favorites at the gallery, this one is framed in an elegant Royal Blue suede triple mat with a mottled black reverse frame. Can be hung in any direction.

 A hypothetical planet system consisting of two Mars-like desert planets.
