Just a quick Flickr round up here, hopefully followed tomorrow (or very soon) by a larger special feature, then I’m off to India till the 5th of Feb. To the notes then…
Top: “Energy Zero” Sci-Fi Book cover art dating from 1976. Love this trippy janus-head inspired design. Artist unknown, please post if you know, via (as always) Mystique_123_2000
2nd Top: “Lord of Light” Psychedelic graphics with a lovely colour palette. Published in 1967 by double day, once again Artist/Designer unknown. Via another Flicker fave Wolfwings
Bottom: “Merlins Ring” Some out and out fantasy from 1975 in the form of a classic Ballatine book cover, first time I’ve ever seen a fire breathing swan, so naturally a big thumbs up. Image by surrealist artist Gervasio Gallardo via Nick Pope.
** Note that I’ve finished tinkering with the site design, check the cheesy logo hover state.
really love that swan
Liking the clean, abstracted line work in the ‘Energy Zero’ cover. Would be interested to find out who the artist is. I’m still processing that image of the fire-breathing swan. Happy new year by the way!
hahah
Hi Alfie, RE the swan yeah I know what you mean – out there ain’t it!
Cheesy? That’s awesome!
Cheers Bryan, only took about 10 mins to create… will reply to your email soon, just been in finsihing work/holiday mode
