aww darnit... i spent hours making a hybrid wallpaper for myself from your other one, now you release the full :D

love the stuff your submitting, you've put alot of work into making some great pictures.

I don't know if i already said it on the last submission, but this picture and some of your others really remind me of a meeting between escher and the artist that illustrated an edition of J.G. Ballard's Atrocity Exhibition. A bit less of the 'hardness' (mathematical abstractness from escher and apocolyptical apostle/critic detachedness from ballard) that I think of those too though.

Quite amazing how much difference in feel there is between this and the smaller previous version submitted.

Have a good one (oh, i fav'd it too)

thanks for the comment. are you talking about this image: [link]
is this a book i should get?
yep, that's the book.. though i mean the images of that style throughout that book rather than that one specifically and the way they go together with ballard's disaffection with the way the world is.

As for getting the book, it depends on what interests you have and if you like ballard I guess.
I've heard people say they don't like that version of the book as it is heavily 'flavoured' (tainted?) by the illustrator since it essentially a graphic novel version of ballard's original story.

I don't own it right now(i read a friends copy), but i'd say it is worth buying.
For story, its not the best book: its an adhoc collection really, and i think it has a taste of affectation.
But its an interesting brainstorming book in terms of seeing how things that are presented as a new normalcy or an idealized objectivity (of applied science for example) can be far more twisted than the biases they try to avoid.

Maybe rent [link] (empire of the sun), which is based on a ballard book to see if your interested first - the images you can see of the book in the link you gave and the ideas in that movie should give you an idea if your interested in reading further. Pretty good movie for a spielberg too.

Its still a gamble any way you look at it though :D
