My first linocut print. Turned out better than expected.

Monochrome lino print of a castle ruin near water.

Hurray for Magnus Robot Fighter! Learned how to draw robots from that comic back in the 60s, so well drawn by Russ Manning. I wonder if Musk’s Optimus robots go “Squeeeee” when they get chopped like in the comics.

Agreed.

Yes! And more black and white movies too.

Definitely the work of Cedric Payravernay on a couple of those images, one of the great character artists from the Dishonored games. A shame he’s not credited.

Magnificent!

Thank you!

I’m picturing a movie-style police chase across Paris, scooters racing down stairs and through narrow alleys, the cop cars inevitably slamming into each other, and lots of swearing.

It's 40 years this year since we said "I do" and still so happy together.

Filled this out earlier this week, and found it to be frustratingly leading in its questions and purposefully circular and repetitive, constantly asking how Canada can be a world leader in AI implementation. Clearly written by pro-AI corporations. I gave a lot of angry responses.

Looking forward to this one!!

Not sure. It's been decades. Also, oops, correction, not Russian, Polish. Lem was Polish, the film was Russian.

Agree with you. Mind you the book was a tough one to adapt, as it had endless pages of old Russian philosophers debating.

Me too. Felt the heart was missing in the Tarkovsky version, and that ending in the remake really felt correct.

Oh wow! now I’ll have to watch it again. Thanks for filling me in.

Meinert Hansen @meinert.bsky.social · 24d

I wasn’t aware of that for this film. I found it quite precise and to-the-point.

Ever notice that in discovered lost or ancient civilizations, art is always one of the last remaining things that withstands the passage of time?

Mystery artists carved life-sized camels into rocks 12,000 years ago

Three newly discovered sites filled with art and stone tools have pushed back the date of when humans returned to Arabia after the last ice age.

Classic 70s designs, the clean geometry and curved edges. The costumes… not a fan of those bland grey pyjama-style jumpsuits though. UFO had great 70s outfits.

I’m sucked in for the visual effects and production design.

Yeah, me too.

Can’t wait to see how he gets his comeuppance. Convinced now that the overarching theme of the Alien franchise is “Humans are stupid and deserve to die and nobody is likeable “. Eye-infection sheep is fun.

This was on the cover of a 1973 Sci-Fi anthology too, called Alpha 4. As a budding teen illustrator, I would stare at it trying to figure out how it was painted. A classic 70s illustration!

I’ll be taking a printmaking course in October. Looking forward to trying something new and hoping it will spark new ideas.
