It's Peter's Stainless Steel Rat covers which hold the most special memories for me. I love those books, and it's Peter's version of Slippery Jim which I see when I read them.

Truly one of the great SF illustrators of the 70's and 80's.

I have been a huge fan of Peter's work since I was 5 (1977). I still have all the TTA books, and look at them often.
Now I am a film maker and writer, I am sure Peter has influenced my work and my imagination! A remarkable talent.

Back in the '70s and '80s, Peter's work, along with his TTA Books contribution and the band of great artists this golden age spawned, has always been one of the major inspirations for my own writings.
Now in 2010 I'm leading an association that develops a Sci-Fi universe. That would never have been without Peter Elson's great art ! And I'm far from being the only one to have been uplifted this way into believing SF was a way to go !
Thanks Peter for your great imagination, your talent at making dreams come true in your paintings and for your inheritance, the seeds of art to come you planted in so many minds ^-^
