THEO JANSEN [ KINETIC SCULPTOR ]
I was first looking for an image of a Rhinoceros. And an image of Theo Jansen's Rhinoceros came up. I at first thought it was a architecture of some sort by the beach. But as i saw more images of it, it seemed to have moved. So i jumped onto Youtube and found these clips. And i kid you not, i nearly shit in my pants when i saw those things moved.
Not only are they designed really uniquely but the movements are just phenomenal.
Wow. This seriously made my day.

HOLY STATUES


I browsing through some interesting jesus statues. I was mainly looking for the Christ Redeemer. Then i stumbled upon these two.
Very interesting and modern depiction. I really like the sharp flat surfaces. I just love the contrast of the organic and the feeling of a mechanic. Reminds me so much of RC from the Transformers or Tron or something.

MOEBIUS [JEAN GIRAUD]

I was introduced by Moebius by my teacher in 2D Design, Brady Haston. Moebius' art was very familiar looking to me since Toriyama Akira and Miyazaki Hayao had such resemblance to his style, especially the hatching and the dusty dirty look of their illustration. This illustration shows such a significant difference by letting Moebius touch the canvas and put his take on american comic books. American comic books are known for its dominant black inks and this piece clearly shows more hatching more than everything. Not to mention the light and contrast is all signified by the hatching while the colors are technically one flat color per element.

PLANET TERROR

I just love the vintage quality of this poster, especially the fake folds and tears all over the poster. as well as the concept of Rose McGowan's character having an automatic gun as her leg. Brilliant.
V for Vendetta

When i first saw this movie poster i fell in love with the composition and its take on the Russian Constructivist look of design. It was basically a nice eye-opener after those long years of boring ass photo composed and manipulated posters which we see a lot today.
Doctor Zhivago

Just another old school illustrated movie covers that i personally love and miss seeing the light of day...

WESTWORLD

I recall seeing this nicely illustrated cover when i was at a record store looking for cool second hand vinyls with great illustrations. For some reason i didn't buy it. But i loved the randomness and the way the composition of this piece was composed. A great mix of sci-fi and western.
Classic.
