Brilliant original concept painting by artist Nick Jainschigg entitled 'Paper Virus,' created for the science fiction and fantasy magazine Analog Science Fiction and Fact. Accomplished in graphite, ink, and acrylic on a 19.5 x 14 sheet of artist board, the surreal artwork depicts a man seated at a desk in deep contemplation, with the background dominated by a large satellite as it approaches a nearby star. Reverse of artist board annotated in black felt tip, "Paper Virus, Analog, Nicholas Jainschigg, 116 Kent St., Brooklyn NY 11222, 718 383 8418." In fine condition. Jainschigg provided the interior illustration for 'Paper Virus,' a novelette by Joe Martino published in the Mid-December 1993 issue of Analog.
