Jean “Moebius” Giraud on drawing from the work of other artists, from life, and from photos…

[JEAN] GIRAUD: Yes. I began as a self-taught artist, copying other artists; then, luckily, I entered an art school, which freed up my hand and opened my eyes to a degree. It’s very dangerous to work only second-hand — referring only to other artists, that is. My teachers were of the old school: they insisted that in order to transcribe reality with any degree of freshness or personality, the eye had to be confronted with the three-dimensional image.

By Dave O'Malley In the black of night of 8 June 1944, two days after the D-Day invasions of Normandy, the dark hulk of a four-engined Lancaster bomber of 15 Squadron, Royal Air Force, trailing a blow-torching curtain of livid flame, lurches heavily into a dive over the French countryside, a few miles to the west of Paris.

The flame is bright enough to illuminate the farms below in a pale and ghostly light. The big bomber is dying, her lifeblood streaming in angry, high octane sheets from her starboard wing fuel tanks. 100 lat klasycznej animacji. Historia Winsora McCaya. How Ferrari Spins. Ferrari's are built by a company that makes race cars.

How Ferrari Spins

Race cars are tuned before every race for the track they're going to be running on. One would assume that every Ferrari built is made for driving on public roads which, last time I checked, didn't have hairpin turns or banked corners. If journalists were to test a Ferrari by driving around trying to pick up chicks then nothing would need to be done to the car. Ferrari engineers are merely tuning the cars to the expected driving situation, something any racing enthusiast can do on their own. Matt Rhodes: Concept Art – Behind the Scenes.

How Do You Design The Future? Ask Syd Mead

Anything was possible. Well, here’s a guy who did all that as a kid and just carried on drawing.

Wait but why: Putting Time In Perspective. Humans are good at a lot of things, but putting time in perspective is not one of them. It’s not our fault—the spans of time in human history, and even more so in natural history, are so vast compared to the span of our life and recent history that it’s almost impossible to get a handle on it. If the Earth formed at midnight and the present moment is the next midnight, 24 hours later, modern humans have been around since 11:59:59pm—1 second. And if human history itself spans 24 hours from one midnight to the next, 14 minutes represents the time since Christ.
