I would love to see Mike's finished result of this image. With that thought in mind I had an attempt at colouring in the image and adding some contrast  with photoshop. I think it looks okay but I still prefer the original sketch.

Mike Hinge - Cryogenics Capsule 5. Marker pen on white paper. Approximate size 60x70cm. Date unknown. Unigned.

A thought has just occurred to me, according to Jane Frank's excellent book "A biographical Dictionary Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists ofthe Twentieth Century."  Jane mentions that Mike Hinge designed a cryobionic unit for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, which unfortunately wasn't used. Could this picture and the other 4 pictures of the Cryogenics capsule be part of that project?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MIKE HINGE,
who would have been 79 today!!

A special post for Mike Hinge's Birthday to show some of his very best work. I have posted his first four Amazing Science Fiction covers and the original artwork from January 1973 (ASF). This idea was suggested to me by Neil who also owns the artwork and image below.

This piece by Mike Hinge is an early American advertising piece and I am guessing it is from around about 1966. The illustration is in two parts; the tracing paper with the outline of the image and a gouache painting of the image on illustration board. I have photographed each piece separate with the last image being the two pieces together to make the finished image.
