		<title>Dan Mcpharlin &#8211; Making Up A Changing Mind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A recent E.P Cover from Dan McPharlin the first in a planned series of three, lovely stuff as usual blurring the line between hard Sci-Fi and abstract geometric design/art, washed with a beautiful lime palette. The font used is the classic Serif Gothic looks great particularly in the heavier cuts.
Art via Dan&#8217;s regularly updated Flickr [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dean Ellis &#8211; The World Inside</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
More superior 70&#8217;s retro book cover art via the fabulous   Dean Ellis, really dig the spartan typography here. The font is ITC Busorama (thanks Eric/Martin/John!) nice and clean&#8230;
This cover has a suitably epic feel, similar in vein to the covers Dean conjured up for Larry Niven&#8217;s Ringworld series, I added a post RE [...]]]></description>

		<title>Michael Foreman &#8211; The Saga of Erik the Viking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[




A selection of five enchanting watercolor/inks Illustrations taken from the 1983 Childrens Story &#8220;The Saga of Erik the Viking&#8221; penned by Terry Jones (of Monty Python) and lovingly illustrated by British artist Michael Foreman.
This is a book I remember well from childhood, and recently picked up a copy via Amazon, the story centre&#8217;s on around [...]]]></description>

Super detailed draftsmanship from the absolute master of techno-Illustration; Katsuhiro Otomo, the Japanese Illustrator behind the legendary cyberpunk manga-fest &#8220;Akira&#8221;. This image is taken from the Epic Books Akira Collection &#8220;Part 10&#8243; fairly close to the epic sagas end.

These powerful, minimal designs with a fauvist-esque palette are a small selection of the art of Eyke Volkmer a German Graphic Artist/Illustrator.

		<title>District 9 (Gif Loop)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Here&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve not featured for a while, a bandwidth-crunching animated GIF! 
This frenzied loop is ripped from Neill Blomkamp&#8217;s magnificent &#8220;District 9&#8221; (2009), for my money the best allround, accessible Sci-Fi flick since Jim Cameron&#8217;s &#8220;Aliens&#8221; (1986). The great thing about District 9 is that it&#8217;s a Sci-fi film that spans way beyond the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[










A selection of Coin-Op/Arcade Machine &#8220;Marquees&#8221; beaming gloriously in brash 80&#8217;s technicolor&#8230; Marquees (in case you didn&#8217;t know) are used to illuminate the name of an arcade game at the top of its cabinet.
Stopping with a friend recently I was reminded with just how amazing this art is as he has a small selection of [...]]]></description>
