Sci-Fi Poster Project - A Slight Detour.

 

This poster depicts a scene from the cyber-punk, sci-fi novel, "Accelerando", by Charles Stross.   Amber Macx and her crew upload to the Field Circus - a craft the size of a coke can, made of Computronium - and venture two light years to the brown dwarf star Hyundai +4904/-56 where they encounter the Wunch.  I can't righlty call this poster "Minimalist".  A friend has described my work as Art Deco and I must agree with her assessment.  I love Art Deco!

Minimalist Design Posters...continued.

Minimalist poster inspired by Peter F. Hamilton's Commonwealth Saga:  "Pandora's Star" and "Judas Unchained."   Here I am depicting the Compressed Space Transport (CST) technology - invented by tech entrepreneurs, Nigel Sheldon and Ozzie Isaacs - used for traveling throughout the 400 planet Intersolar Commonwealth.  Specific design elements inspired by A.M. Cassandre's famous Nord Express poster of 1927. 

Minimalist Graphic Design Posters: Sci-Fi Novel Series.

This is the first in a series of minimalist posters I am working on.  The series will consist of locations mentioned in my favorite science fiction novels.  Pictured above is the planet Faber Eridani - home to Elmira Spaceport - in Jeffrey A. Carver's novel, Eternity's End.   I will be selling these posters in different sizes, suitable for matting and framing. Check back soon for further details on where to purchase.  I am planning my first exhibition featuring these posters at a local library.  Concept inspired by Chicago graphic designer and illustrator, Justin Van Genderen, who did a Star Wars series of minimalist posters.

Another Night, Another Dream...

...another day, another year, another...Labor Day?  Einstein proved that time is relative and political campaigns prove that there is nothing new under the Sun.  No obsession Du Jour for this blog entry.

Just enjoy this Fritz Lang inspired video by the Real McCoy.
