He then began to appear regularly on the cover off Astounding, beginning with the August 1951 issue. He left the field in the early 1960s for a career in advertising, only to return again in the 1970's doing cover illustrations for Ballantine/Del Rey and DAW. He again dropped out of the field in the late 190's when he lost his agent, and returned again in the 1980's with some covers for Analog.
