The style evokes the same technical precision, dramatic lighting, and cosmic atmosphere that defined his work on the series.

Howard accepts bank transfers, checks, and major credit cards. International commissions are welcome, with payment processed in British Pounds. Commission contracts outline payment schedules, rights transfer, and delivery terms.
