In the 1970s Hardy met a science fiction fan who owned and ran a PR company, Vortex PR.  As a result, he produced a variety of art for trade magazine covers, advertising of everything from Duracell batteries to computer chips, and much more! He has also produced art for other companies, up to 48-sheet posters.

The distinction between 'artist' and 'illustrator' is hard to define, and is largely personal. At one end is the Fine Art market, and it has to be said that this has not yet fully embraced Space Art! At the other end is art produced specifically for commercial purposes, such as advertising and posters. Even some of the Old Masters produced these, in order to make a living, and Hardy is no exception! In fact, this is an artform in itself, since in order to reach its market the art has to be well-designed and make an impact. . .
