John Schoenherr - Sardaukar Warriors from The Illustrated Dune (1978)
Paul Auster and Robert Ames Bennet were born and Theodore R Cogswell died on this day, so here are some of their book covers (artist: Irene Von Treskow, David Ireland, Ralph Brillhart and John Schoenherr):
SPICE MASS
The client for this painting wanted a gift for their partner (a fellow #dune fan) in the form of an enormous #fremen and #sandworm scene. They wanted the #Schoenherr style worm mouth as depicted in the #Lynch movie.

John Schoenherr’s original painted cover for 1965’s first paperback edition of Frank Herbert’s Dune.
John Schoenherr, 1962, cover for ‘The Tomorrow People,’ by Judith Merril
“Do you wrestle with dreams?
Do you contend with shadows?
Do you move in a kind of sleep?
Time has slipped away.
Your life is stolen.
You tarried with trifles,
Victim of your folly.” (Frank Herbert "Dune")

Fazem 12 anos que o artista John Schoenherr faleceu. Ele foi o primeiro ilustrador do universo de Duna. Em depoimento, Frank Herbert afirmava que Schoenherr foi a única pessoa que conseguiu colocar em imagens o que ele imaginava ao criar a saga.
