Peter Thorpe
Creative illustration with a passion for design since 1976. I specialize in editorial art for print and web. I'm especially known for book covers. I've done almost 400 to date. I do graphic design, logos, and also fine art pieces, most notably my long time Rocket Paintings series. Originally from New Orleans, I've lived in San Francisco, New York City and now in downtown Asheville, in the historic Battery Park Hotel, with Push and Chance, two very critical but cute cats.
Events
I participate in various events, most notably New Space conferences, Including Novapace's Spacefest, as well as conferences for Space Frontier Foundation, Space Studies Institute, and New Worlds. My love for space science and exploration began when I was a boy. The Rocket Paintings series reflects some of that original wonder I had with space, which is why I paint at these events. It is wonderful to enjoy the comments of people who visit my table, especially children. More info at rocketpaintings.com.
