Art from THE LONG TOMORROW by Mœbius and Dan O’Bannon. The comic, published in French magazine MÉTAL HURLANT (Heavy Metal) in 1976, was an obvious influence on the look of BLADE RUNNER. (Mix it with Syd Mead’s art and you’re there basically.) Its influence reached wider however, as films such as Escape from New York, Tron, and Alien all contain elements inspired by the comic’s world and make-up.
Drawings by H. R. Giger.
Concept drawings for Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968): an early “Star Gate” version, and an alien landscape.
Concept art for the beings from John Carpenter’s IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS (1994). Not sure about the specific artists, but the creature designs were done by the KNB EFX Group, founded by Robert Kurtzman, Greg Nicotero, and Howard Berger.
Illustrations by Russian artist, Gennady Kalinovsky for a 1974 edition of ALICE IN WONDERLAND.
Cover art to the novelization of John Carpenter’s THE FOG (1980), and some images from the film to go with it.
David Lynch art that found its way into TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN. The Fireman’s “House by the Sea” at the mauve edge of reality, the Fireman giving birth to The One, Dale Cooper floating in the mysterious glass box in New York after his exit from the Lodge, and the jailed drunk (eww). Oh, and Billy.
A thumbs up to anyone who knows what I’m talking about.
Just like Star Wars: artificial limbs from the 19th (images 1 and 2) and 16th century.
