Mike Trim

Michael Trim (born 26 August 1945) is an artist most famous for illustrating the cover of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, which depicts a Martian tripod striking down the heroic Thunder Child. A book of his illustrations entitled The Future was FAB: The Art of Mike Trim was released in 2006.

In 1964, young Mike Trim answered a newspaper advertisement seeking modelmakers for a film production crew and began an odyssey that would last for more than 40 years. Beginning in the final days of Stingray, Trim would work as a modelmaker and designer for Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's television series Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, Joe 90, The Secret Service, and UFO, as well as their feature films Thunderbirds Are GO, Thunderbird 6, and Journey to the Far Side of the Sun (a.k.a. Doppelganger).

Starting out in the model shop, Mike eventually became Special Effects director Derek Meddings' assistant in designing the fabulous futuristic vehicles, buildings, and look of the Andersons' imaginitive series. Eventually, he would take on the bulk of design work for the series as Meddings became more involved in feature films. Contributing a single (unused) vehicle design and model to Space: 1999, Trim then moved into freelance illustration, creating an iconic cover painting for one of the best selling albums of all time; Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, in 1978.

    Rising Up

    by: Cloven Hoof

    Carving out an empire across a billion shattered star systems, one super being stood supreme.
    Biting the hand that shaped him Dominator's new order reigned with a grip of iron, dissident's were executed or imprisoned on maximum-security lunar compounds.
    Sentenced to burn
    Exiled in purgatory.
    A man made cage,
    In a distant galaxy.
    But tonight we leave,
    So spread the word around.
    Breaking out,
    Never to be found.
    Over the top,
    Past security.
    Through the fields
    Of energy.
    [Chorus:]
    Stand up and be counted,
    This is our finest hour.
    Time to join the frontline,
    Can you feel the power?
    Rising up!
    Rising up!
    Rising up!
    Rising up!
    Renegade forces,
    Of the world unite.
    Imprison our captors,
    Freedom is in sight.
    Storm the watchtower,
    Tear down these walls.
    Nothing can stop us,
    Heed no master's call.
    In the night,
    The sirens wail.
    Imperial Storm troopers,
    On our tail
    [Chorus]
    Detonation,
    Hear the engines roar.
    Through the darkness,
    Freedom fighters soar.
    Firing at will,
    In for the kill,
    Blazing until,
    The air's filled by death.
    Power!
    Power!
    Power!
    Rising Up!
    Rising Up!
    Rising Up!
