Marilyn
This is probably one of my favourite pictures ever. It’s Bruce Davidson’s photo of (l-r) Simone Signoret, Yves Montand, Marilyn Monroe and her husband at the time, Arthur Miller, at a dinner party in Montand’s apartment. The whole thing is like a Mexican standoff in glances.

Tintin in R'lyeh
Muzski’s reinterpretation of Hergé’s famous comic series feature Tintin, Captain Haddock, Snowy and all your beloved characters in an exciting new light as they unwittingly stumble upon soul-shattering vistas from Beyond.
Watch our brave adventurers flee from shoggoths, Deep Ones, fish folk, ghouls, Formless Spawn, Mi-Go, Elder Things, nightgaunts, Old Ones, Outer Gods and foreigners (i.e. non-Anglo-Saxons) as they face many an existential crisis regarding their insignificance on a cosmic scale!
What eldritch horrors await our companions as they unearth the secrets from untold aeons in the dark corners of the earth? Will they heroically flee from these abominations from the stars, or will they choose the merciful oblivion that is death by throwing themselves on squalid pavements or shooting themselves in the head? And what trick does Nyarlathotep have up ‘His’ sleeve this time?

Pristine Convenience
“I fantasize about a massive, pristine convenience. Brilliant gold taps, virginal white marble, a seat carved from ebony, a cistern full of Chanel Number 5, and a flunky handing me pieces of raw silk toilet roll. But under the circumstances I’ll settle for anywhere.”

Soviet Ruins
I first heard about the Buzludzha monument (pronounced Buz’ol’ja) last summer when I was attending a photo festival in Bulgaria. Alongside me judging a photography competition was Alexander Ivanov, a Bulgarian photographer who had gained national notoriety after spending the last 10 years shooting ‘Bulgaria from the Air’. Back then he showed me some pictures of what looked to me like a cross between a flying saucer and Doctor Evil’s hideout perched atop a glorious mountain range.
I love that we live in a world where a place like this actually exists. And has been allowed to go to ruin, making it infinitely more dramatic-looking. I couldn’t even decide which picture to post, they’re all so amazing. Just stop whatever you’re doing now and check them all out.

Olly Moss's posters for My Neighbour Totoro
I worked with Studio Ghibli and Mondo to create these two posters for one of my favourite movies. I still can’t quite believe this, it’s such a huge honour.
My Neighbor Totoro is a 20x36 8-colour screen print. It’ll be for sale from Mondo soon and, as usual, I will have some signed APs for sale at some point later.
My birthday is coming up. Totoro is one of my favourite films. Coincidence?

Fan-designed Criterion Cover for Exorcist III
“I have dreams of a rose, and a long flight of stairs. Incidentally, who is this Damien you speak of?”
If I could have one wish, it would be that Blatty got the chance to assemble his original cut of Legion, the way he envisioned it before studio meddling turned it into The Exorcist III. Despite the final versions flaws, it’s still one of my favorite movies.
It might be a hot mess, but Exorcist III is still one of the most terrifically creepy movies I’ve ever seen. It gets under your skin and stays there. There are scenes – single shots, even – that still manage to give me shivers when I think of them. It’s criminally underrated/overlooked as a horror film.
This is a much better cover than the nonsense they ended up going with.

Dean Martin: Total mutt.

Christian anti-abortion ‘social justice’ group hands out fetus dolls for Halloween (For the story and video, click image or here; Found at Jesus Needs New PR)
Back in the radio station I worked in, we used to get all these things that were like Argos catalogues for God-botherers. You could buy bumper stickers like “My other car is a HEAVENLY CHARIOT” and stuff like that. At the back of the catalogue were all these pro-life tchotchkes. You could buy these plastic foetus models to hand out at anti-abortion rallies. You could buy them in bulk. Like 30 for $50.
I always wanted to get a batch of the little ones, put them in the freezer, and use them instead of ice at parties. Except I’m not sure I trust the manufacturers to use the kind of high-quality plastic that wouldn’t give me cancer or whatever.

Anonymous Bandana
One of the problems for the fashion-conscious protester in 2011 is figuring out what message you want to send. A bandana sends one message. A V For Vendetta/Anonymous mask sends another message. What if you want to send both messages at once? A V mask wearing a bandana just looks stupid.
Etsy user GiantEye has you covered.
Fold this bandana in half to transform into the famous fawksy provocateur from the comic pages. It’s perfect for protecting yourself from sudden dust storms and outbreaks of authoritarianism. Keep your neck warm during those cold sit-ins. Use it as an impromptu rucksack to cart your gear from Zuccotti Park when the cleaners come. Cut eye holes to wear as a full face mask for added anonymity. Flag Fawkes. This is the hanky code for revolution.

The Madness of Mission 6: Making up Histories for Pixels
This image is from a threadless t-shirt, retconning a story onto Pac-Man. I love it. It reminds me of the amazing covers for 8-bit games that bore almost no relation to the actual game1, but were just there to set the mood and provide the tiniest bit of context for the gameplay.
The Atari 2600 game Adventure is the perfect example of this. The cover is beautifully illustrated, charming and evocative. It’s like an illustration you’d find in a weird old German edition of The Hobbit. In the actual game, you play a fucking square. ↩︎

So, I wasn’t really convinced about the denim and blazer look until I saw this photo. I might just thrown my jeans in the washing machine now.
I’m about as far away from being a dapper Asian gent as it’s possible to be, but this is the exact look I want to aim for.
Alien 3 Concept Art
I think part of the reason people reacted so badly to Alien 3 (quite apart from the fact the final release got mangled by the studio) was because the tone of the film was so dramatically different to the other two movies. A penal planet populated by rapists, murderers and thieves is a tough sell.
But before Fincher came in, Alien 3 was set on ‘a religious colony that had escaped the earth and inhabited an abandoned commercial facility deep in space’ who ‘had adopted a Medieval way of life, without electricity or modern technology’.
Now, that would have been a much tougher sell.
Regardless of how you feel about Alien 3 it’s hard to look at these concept drawings and not feel sad about what could have been.

The Gauntlet
I remember being fascinated by the cover for this video, with this poster, when I’d see it over in Xtravision (or, more specifically, Dano’s Video Shop - Edenmore represent!). Then I was slightly disappointed by the film afterwards. Not that The Gauntlet is a bad film. It’s just not the film I imagined from the poster.
El Shaddai
El Shaddai’s plot summary, according to Wikipedia:
The story is inspired by the apocryphic Book of Enoch, and follows Enoch (イーノック), a priest seeking seven fallen angels to prevent a great flood from destroying mankind. He is helped in his quest by Lucifel (ルシフェル)(voiced by Jason Isaacs), a guardian angel in charge of the protection of the world who exists outside of the flow of time, and by four Archangels: Raphael (ラファエル), Uriel (ウリエル), Gabriel (ガブリエル), and Michael (ミカエル)
Hello to Jason Isaacs.
