Finding inner peace in the modern world is a significant challenge. All the accomplishments in the world can’t replace inner peace.

But there are ways to find and maintain inner peace.

1. Do your most daunting task first thing in the morning
   
2. Let go of things you don't control
   
3. Don't worry about what others are thinking
   
4. List 3 things you love about your situation right now
   
5. Walk to a window, look outside, and take a single deep breath
   
   I would definitely prefer one of the book that I have recently completed and learned many things about living a happy and stress-free life.

Cireulo's cover art for Writers of the Future, vol 34. Chances are, if you love dragon art, you've seen more than a few of his pieces!

Author Jody Lyn Nye (known for MythAdventure, several collaborations with Anne McCaffery, Strong Arm Tactics, and numerous other titles) has a short story based off this piece in the book itself:

When an illusionist's kingdom is invaded, he'll pull every trick to protect his land and his queen, even if that means calling in a few favors with the local dragon.

There's a great series of 4 coffee table books from the 70s (amazon: Terran Trade Authority) that wove a history of human space colonization around a collection of previously published sci-fi book cover art... every book in the series is a must-have for any who's serious about the genre. They're nice hardcover books full of old school sci-fi art, and you can see the direct lineage of styles that have become standard modern digital/Deviant art.

Edit: the four titles:

Spacecraft 2000 to 2100 AD

Great Space Battles

Spacewreck (ghostships and derelects of space)

Starliners

This is awesome! Reminds me of The Wildlife of Star Wars

I love Ralph McQuarrie's art, and I'm glad that some of the new Star Wars media is going back to it (such as the new X-Wings in Ep 7 being based on Ralph's concept art and the design of Zeb from Rebels coming from an original concept for Chewbacca).

There's an art book set coming out in September with all of his art for the trilogy. Unfortunately, it's going to go for around $250 US.

You want books by either Chris Foss or John Harris. Both are cover artists from the 80s and I think still do modern scifi covers as well. John Scalzi's books are all by John Harris.

I have The Definitive Works Of Chris Foss and thumbing through it makes me feel like I am twelve again.

Thanks :D ProWhite is a correction fluid, mostly used for mistakes for hand inking. In edition to that in this piece I used it a lot for snow and breath effects

I'd also really recommend his book Mass: The Art of John Harris. It's a coffee-table sized book full of big prints.

Reminds me of a science fiction book I bought titled The Bright Companion. I haven't read it yet, but it pertains to a young woman traveling through a post apocolyptic world.

Indeed!

It's a book cover. The left side is the back of the book.

In his book Painted Space on page 48-49 the description of this painting is:

Spinning A Yarn

1980, Casein and Acrylic, 28" x 19"

"Part of an imaginary series done for advertisements, this painting illustrates the twelve secret manufacturing processes used by Martin Processing in dying yarn. Four paintings were done showing different divisions of the company; all related to space and all pure fantasy."

It's from the cover of the sci fi novel.

This is the cover art to the book of the same title, 'Dark Run'. Written by Mike Brooks.
