Artistic tribute to Virgil Finlay

Virgil Finlay (July 23, 1914 – January 18, 1971) was an American pulp fantasy, science fiction and horror illustrator. Finlay became famous using ink pens, with abundant stippling, cross-hatching and scratch-board techniques. When he worked for Weird Tales, Finlay illustrated the works of famous writers, including Howard Phillips Lovecraft. 

For this tribute I have chosen, as a model, four works to be graphically reworked in a modern key, while maintaining the artistic characteristics chosen by the author: 

1) Reconnaissance Ship, 1956 

2) The Frozen Summer – David Redd, 1969 

3) The Angry Street – G. K. Chesterton, 1947 

4) An Apple for the Teacher – Robert F. Young, 1955
