Bruce Pennington (born 10 May 1944)[1] is a British painter, best known for his science fiction and fantasy novel cover art.
Pennington's works have largely featured on the covers of novels of Isaac Asimov, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert A. Heinlein, adopting both science fiction and fantastical themes.
Pennington's works are largely characterised by bold, daring colours; rich pinks and blues sustaining his continuing motifs of speculation, as well as precise brush strokes, harmonious pigment blending.
Pennington attended the Ravensbourne School of Art in Bromley during the early 1960s.
[1] In 1976, Paper Tiger Books published an LP-sized graphic album, Eschatus, featuring Pennington's paintings inspired by the prophecies of Nostradamus.
