really phenomenal stuff, makes me think a little of the work of Stanislaw Szukalski, very similar use of lurid, solid rendering with stone and steel and an almost dream-like feeling.

Unsurprisingly Szukalski was a sculptor as well. You can tell with again, how solid his work feels

He was an extraordinarily versatile and talented artist, and many of the 50+ books he illustrated (and wrote!) were woodcut, as when he first immigrated he worked in an engraver’s shop. He was very active in magazine/poster advertising, particularly later in life.

His only formal artistic education came from 3 months of night classes at Chase College, and one of the reasons his work was so popular with editors was because his limited colors required fewer inks to print, and therefore the covers and ads were cheaper to produce.

The act of making is itself where good ideas are born.

It’s so indicative of the tech bro methodology, which is ALSO not about actually making good products, (or even having the ability to do so) but purely An Idea. Ideas that are generally…not good! Because they’re not the ideas of people who are actually making things.
