ASTRONAUTS AMONG US

Astronauts are a longtime visual obsession of mine — as anyone who’s ever looked at the first dozen issues of my 1990s zine Hermenaut can attest. As far as MJ is concerned, I’m drawn to surreal images of astronauts on Earth — out and about, walking amongst us. There must be examples of this sort of thing from 1960s- and 1970s-era sf novels and magazines… I’m sure that’s where it’s coming from.
