The Second Kind of Loneliness


A recent private commission to illustrate a short sci-fi story by George R R Martin. The Second Kind of Loneliness is the diary of a lone astronaut stationed at the edge of the solar system to operate a machine that can open a wormhole, the null-space vortex, which facilitates interstellar travel. As he awaits the date of his planned return to Earth, the astronaut writes of the love he left behind there, the beauty and solitude of space ,and his fascination with the vortex.
