I’ve been running a little bit low on original Blog resource material until yesterday when a trip to my local antiques centre yielded a selection of this obscure magazine publication ‘Man Myth & Magic’ with it’s tagline’s: ‘An Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Supernatural’ & ‘The most Unusual Magazine ever Published’
Man Myth & Magic was a UK based publication that ran for 112 weekly issue’s starting in 1970 – as mentioned the magazine feature’s many Illustration’s ranging from quirky woodcut’s of Ye-olde spooky folklore; Werewolf’s, Witches’s, Demon’s through to double page spread reprint’s and analysis of the work of master Artist’s/Illustrator’s such as Albrecht Dürer, Matthias Grunewald, Aubrey Beardsley and many more…
The cover art used here is Teutonic Mythology ’Siegfried Killing The Dragon’ taken from a 19th century German edition of nibelungenlied.
Another post featuring a sample of art from the amazing Bob Pepper this piece used as the cover for an edition of the 1977 Jody Scott novel “Passing for Human”.

Here’s something a little different; a very nicely composed mix of Illustration and found Collage design with a definite feel of 70′s Sci-fi…. Silent Running? from Edinburgh based Designer/Illustrator Matt Pattinson.
Love this – shows what kind of fun you can have with a Photocopier and a load of old Science School Books – although of course there’s a lot more too it than just that! Plus any design adorned with text like “Hyperbolic orbit with final retrograde burn” get’s featured here by default.
