I got my copy of the 400 last night and what a fabulous tome it is. I like the section at the back which shows all the covers, calendars, jigsaws, posters etc. Thank you Imogene and Rian for creating a wonderful reference book of Chris’s work.

Wish I could have been there! Would have been great to have met Rian too, both these guys have been a huge inspiration and they are pioneers in their respective fields. Cannot wait to get a special edition copy!!!
Hello Joseph, thank you so much for all your hard working sourcing so many of the book covers for this project, I know this was a big help for Rian and we both really appreciate all your time and effort scanning and sending us the artwork. Until I started this project I had no idea Chris has done so many covers and new ones were landing right up until the deadline. All the best, Imogene
thank u Chris, Imogene and Rian for hosting such a friendly event it was just great. Good to meet fellow fans like Joseph too.
Cheers, David it was lovely to meet you too and Chris was really touched that so many people came and had clearly followed his career for many years. Glad you had a good time as we did too. All the best, Imogene
Chris, Imogene, Rian – great to meet you all, and some fellow fans too, last night at the signing. A really fun and friendly atmosphere and great to hear some of Chris’ anecdotes and insights, and watch him merrily sketch away in people’s books and memorabilia.
I suppose I’ve waited to meet Chris since I was 10 years old and first gazed in awe at his visions of deep space. The man is a portal to what the far reaches of the universe could be like! Gargantuan robots stomping across desolate landscapes with fighter jets buzzing overhead.
Thanks to Imogene and all who organised the event. And a special thanks to Chris who was happy to sketch a design on the inset for me.
Thank you!
