The Electric State | Simon Stlenhag

A girl travels with her yellow robot across 1997 America where society has collapsed thanks to some VR-like helmets.
The story feels quite unfinished and full of gaps, but it's really awesome nonetheless. If you like science fiction and/or dystopian and/or graphic novels, this is a must read. The artwork is eerily beautiful.

From Kubo and the Two Strings. While this scene is pretty calm, Kubo and his crew face some pretty horrific adversaries.

This is not a book with a story but a collection a drawings produced over the last 25 yrs organized according to themes. So in a way it‘s like entering into an art exhibition in your own living room. I love Tan‘s illustrations and I loved this collection showing his development and sometimes where some of his book characters started from.

BookWrym Thanks for sharing all the pictures they are delightful will be adding this to my wish list 4mo

Sci-Fi Art: A Graphic History | Stephen Holland, Alex Summersby

Let us first address the injustice of this cover. Of ALL the art you had at your disposal, you chose THIS ONE? Anyway...
Mostly this book makes me want to find more sci fi art books! For 192 pages that were half-text, half-image, it's very ambitious to take on the entire 20th century and beyond of sci-fi art (with some foundations in the 19th century as well) in the UK and America, and even some anime from Japan. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality Especially when the book covers such a range as pulp magazines, paperbacks, comic books, concept art, tv tie ins, film promotional material, video game design, record covers and toy design. I feel like that's enough subject matter for several books, and so the sections felt short-changed in here. It does help me narrow down what I want to pursue. 2/? 5mo
Robotswithpersonality 3/4 I enjoyed much of the early pulp magazines, likewise the film posters of the 30s, absolutely love the paperback cover art of the 60s and 70s, likewise the record sleeve art of the 70s, and the film poster art of the 70s. Those exceptions to the date cutoff come from artists still working in hand drawn/painted mediums in later decades. 5mo
Robotswithpersonality I am an OLD who is not obsessed with space ship architecture, and as soon as CGI became a major design tool I have trouble finding beauty in the aesthetic. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 5mo
