(Well, it was possible for me, anyhow; your mileage may vary.) I look at it in the same way that I delight in the joy and playfulness of Dave Stevens&#8217; pin-ups. The takeaway seems to be affection, and that may be what makes the difference.<\/p>\n<p>His entire galleries show a lot of other work, much of it aimed at childrens&#8217; illustration; one of my favorites appears below. But of course it was <em>Sugar Space<\/em>\u2019s cheerful retro-futurism that was pretty much up my street.
