Lovely Soviet propaganda posters.

Japanese Illustrations Of Aliens & Monsters 1975

I love these. The design of the creatures (I'm guessing that some are from 'true' UFO stories- the last goblin looking creature looks like the one described in the Betty and Barney Hill abduction story) and the page design.

Les Astronautes (1959)

Lovely, surreal, French animation from 1959, by Walerian Borowczyk & Chris Marker.

Ballet Mécanique (1924)

Ballet Mécanique (1924) was a project by the American composer George Antheil and the filmmaker/artists Fernand Léger and Dudley Murphy.

The King

Jack Kirby didn't just draw comics. Jack Kirby is comics.

Sienkiewicz

Comic book artist Bill Sienkiewicz always impressed me. And disturbed me. His scratchy style ( here in an obvious Klimt homage), kind of freaked me out, as a kid. This is a wonderful 9 panel grid splash page. Comic book conventions adhered to and broken apart in one go. Stray Toasters, from which this is taken, is fairly nightmarish. Yet all of his work, some for mainstream comics, seemed to attempt to elevate the medium.

Tarkovsky's Solaris

Tarkovsky's Solaris (1972) is a beautiful piece of work.  I really don't need to say how good this, or any of his films are.

But a friend of mine is a huge Tarkovsky fan, so I created this poster for him.

Run Wrake - Rabbit

Lovely (?) animation using children's book illustration in wonderful new ways.

Polish Jazz Album Covers

1932, Frankenstein, West Virginia

Lovely picture from 1932, showing nurses and an ambulance, waiting outside a cinema showing 'Frankenstein', in West Virginia.

See Frankensteinia.

Nick Cross - Black Sunrise

Trailer for the upcoming film by Nick Cross.

Watch 'The Pig Farmer'. It's clever AND funny.

(Well, if you think Manson references in a cartoon are funny).

K Craig - Technology Project

Two images from a recent project to illustrate on the theme of TECHNOLOGY. All of the images used came from Public Domain sites, usable under the Creative Commons Licence. The halo on the second illustration is a representation of human DNA.

Julie Driscoll

Wonderfully psychedelic video, for Julie Driscoll's cover of "Season Of The Witch". The set is pretty 'far-out'.

Kate MccGwire - Feather Sculptures

Beautiful, organic sculptures from Kate MccGwire.

E. W. Cooke, 1872.

Mercury Arc Rectifier

I don't know what this is (apparently a Six anode mercury arc rectifier, formerly used at a 600V DC traction substation of the Athens-Piraeus railway), but I like it.
