the top of a man's head is open and various things are emerging from the top of his head including one green, one blue and one golden dragon, skulls, planets (maybe the planets were already there because the background is space and stars).

Today I learned about Gerhard Munthe, who, in the early 20th century, designed some extremely Atari-looking tapestries with titles like "Blood Tower"

this Eco Fighters cover/poster art is one of my all time favorites, but I'm really having a bad time actually finding who painted it, maybe i'm looking in the wrong places, does anyone know?

remember this for every AI headline you read

but also keep this one in mind, too

The metaverse economy offers the potential of a wide range of revenue streams, with some estimates predicting it could become an $800 billion-dollar market in just two years and that it could contribute $3 trillion dollars to the global economy in the next decade.

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again
