THE BLACK HOLE (1979) Promotional Art by David Mattingly

Here's a piece of art that I had never seen before, until stumbling upon this scan online. It's a Black Hole promotional painting by space artist David Mattingly done for Disney. I don't know if it was ever used anywhere - as I said, I've never seen it before, not on any merchandising or advertising.

That's another cool thing about doing this blog: as I search around for stuff to illustrate my posts, I occasionally stumble across something like this that is completely new to me.

ADDENDUM 6/11: I have just discovered that this art appeared on the cover of the sixth issue of Questar magazine, published in February of 1980.
