FAREWELL, CHRIS ACHILLEOS...


Your epic imagery made an indelible impression on all who had the good fortune to experience it. 


As such, your creations always proved breathtaking and awe-inspiring on every otherworldly level. The prolific proof of this can be found in Heavy Metal MagazineRadio Times and a number of charming, Doctor Who sojourns.  


Your contagious style was also strong enough to infiltrate the music world, with Whitesnake's Lovehunter, Kate Bush's "Babooshka" and Gary Hughes' Arthurian rock opera, Once and Future King, Part 1.  


However, your poster for Heavy Metal (the movie) is perhaps your most iconic, for it epitomizes your trademark inclusion of beauty, exoticism and adventure, all wrapped up in one sizzling package.


May your creative jaunts continue to flourish in the spiritual world, Mr. Achilleos, where you're certain to implant the same grand wonderment that you sowed so many times over upon this earth.
