Russian vintage advertising posters... yes, more vintage advertising posters
Oh, so many vintage posters. It's an addiction.
Maybe I just want to live in the past.
You can tell me to stop NO I CAN'T STOP.

Political Blog Sold For....£1.3 million?!?
There's much discussion about the purchase by Tory Billionaire, Michael Ashcroft, of the blog sites, ConservativeHome and PoliticsHome, for a mind-blowing £1.3 million. Whilst there will be many bedroom-bloggers being re-energised by three year plans to similarly sell out to rich owners the rest of us are just left thinking 'why'?
I have an idea.
THIS BLOG IS WORTH £1.3 MILLION.
Sweet. *Waits for a call, fluffs pimp coat*

The man who showed me what spaceships look like
Spice leaking from a ruptured pirate ship by Chris Foss Have you heard of Chris Foss? If you've seen any of the major science fiction films of the last thirty years, you may have seen the influence of his work. He worked on visualisations for a never-produced film adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune (no, not the David Lynch one), Superman, Alien, and Flash Gordon. He created conceptual art for the movie A.I for Stanley Kubrick - nearly ten years before the film actually came out.
Chris Foss showed me what spaceships looked like. They could be colourful, ungainly, beating their way through an atmosphere, skirting over the tops of sand dunes, bleeding spice into space. Spaceships in your average science fiction movie nowadays are always just so grey in comparison to Foss's ships.
The book 21st Century Foss was in my mum's library when I grew up, then lost, but now abebooks.co.uk has helped me find it again.
