“Artist drawing of Apollo mission”

 

Don Mackey at his absolute finest. I scanned it at 1200 dpi, so, feel free to revel in the exquisite craftsmanship & detail.

 

This is the first collaborative work I’ve ever seen by Mr. Mackey! He therefore shares the rightful accolades (which he likely never received) with Jack Waldrop.

 

Speaking of Mr. Waldrop…possibly this “Jack” Waldrop:

 

“Florida Today (Cocoa, FL) - 6 Sep 1991
