And it's the end of another month - it feels unreal!

#August has been both rewarding and challenging, full of relax and stress... A very mercurial month for me, this year!

I guess that my main achievement has been the #HeartInParadise #artbook 💙

Anyway, upwards and onwards!

Early birthday present from my family.
(my birthday is the 23rd. Got express shipping to make sure it delivered to my door)

So excited to look at beautiful robots.

Robots 1:2 is a photography book of the collection at Vitra Design Museum.
Picured is the first and last robot in the book (details in alt text). I've always been interested in these early tin robots

The Electric State by Simon Stålenhag is sort of an art book and a sci-fi narrative/(fantasy)American roadtrip.
Haven't read anything by him yet, but I fell in love with the illustrations. So excited to explore his world

Third is Anime Arcitecture - Imagined Worlds and Endless Megacities by Stefan Riekeles (more in next post)

  • I really tried with the alt text but am kinda guessing a lot

Robot Lilliput P: KT D: Kuramochi Shoten, CK Clockwork Japan 1937 15.2 cm Small orange tin robot with a square face with a big nose and open mouth with 5 pointy teeth. It looks a bit derpy. It has a tube and 3 dials illustrated on its chest, and the designation NP 5357
Pes Pluto P: Hardtmuth N.P D: Koh-I-Nor Battery operated Czechoslovakia 1976 12 cm On the left is a cardboard box with the robot dog illustrated on On the right: Robot dog pez dispenser. The head and feet are red, the body is light blue. Its upper jaw has yellow and black warning stripes and its nose is a little red ball. The body seems to have a little internal motor connected with yellow wires to a red battery and some dials. It looks to have 2 circular cut outs above its legs showing the red underneath. Its tail is 3 decreasing in size balls in the colors blue, red, yellow. The illustration on the box shows it having 2 yellow balls as ears, but these are not replicated on the tin robot
Inside of Electric State. Theres text on the left (too small to read). The main illustration is a landscape with trees, mountains and grey skies. A small car is driving alone on a curvy road. On the hill is a very pointy sci-fi looking fighter plane? It is broken down and decorated with a cartoon cat licking its mouth at the top. The cat has a turret sticking out of it. On the side of the plane is painted U.S Air Force

Did I want Anime Arcitecture just bc it featured Metropolis... Maybe.

It is a beautiful hardcover featuring early drafts, storyboards, original background paintings and exclusive material from some pivotal sci-fi anime movies - Akira, Patlabor: the Movie, Patlabor 2: the Movie, Ghost in the Shell, Metropolis, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, Tekkonkinkreet, Rebuild of Evangelion

I do wish it also had Steamboy and Memories, but I am so excited to deep dive into these sci-fi worldbuilding notes

#Anime #Arcitecture #Artbook #Metropolis

2 pages showing black and white technical concept design sketches by Takashi Watabe of street lights and a handrail in Metropolis. They have a strong Art Nouveau influence
2 page spread of the final production background for Metropolis. It is a colorful underground cityscape with several levels and tall buildings, and a bridge cutting straight across it. Everything is worn and grungy (even tho it is bright, strong colors of red, yellow, green and blue) and there's many pipes, big fans, industrial numbering and advertisements, giving it an industrial, futuristic and retro feel all at the same time

Oh wow 🤩 #VinylMoon have really outdone themselves with this month's #record! Their releases are each a work of art themselves, partnering with artists to create unique jackets and other included items or artifacts along with a beautifully crafted colored record.

This month they worked with aerial #photographer Bernard Lang and included an entire #ArtBook! 🤩 I'm going to make some tea and put this on for a listen while I flip through these photos :comfytea:
(photos to follow)

I am not doing well at Mastadon lately, sorry folks. Lots of busyness in my life! I just got married! WOO!

Just so happens I have a book launch tomorrow! It's Mini Book Of Monsters 2! 40 fun little critters in one book, plus some prints and stickers in some of the bundles... AND original art! Here are some of them:

mockup of my mini book of monsters 2 book cover. Top left is a purple grinning monster with black horns and yellow eyes and 6 ears! Top right is a hairy grey monster with long black eyebrows and a big pink nose. Bottom left is a ginger hairy monster witha white face and black beady eyes which are far apart, he also has a pink nose. Bottom right, three eyed monster (orange eyes) with long pointy ears, green chest and a silly grin. In the middle is the text 'Emily Hare's Mini Book Of Monsters 2'
