What were you doing when you thought of this [FJ]? |
|
|
//What were you doing when you thought of this // Just the usual happy, happy thoughts, I imagine. [+] Another sure-fire winner. |
|
|
Are you exploring the wonders of mycology and the culinary arts at the same time, FJ? Because you sometimes have such strange ideas. + |
|
|
FJ's sketches really are terrific. |
|
|
I wonder if FJ is a fan of the Codex Seraphinus? An unofficial description appears at the web site I added in links. |
|
|
Some of his sketches, of bizarre inventions rendered as if they were the definition of normal behavior and circumstance, remind me of some of the sketches in the codex. |
|
|
Thanks for the link, Soterios, but now I'm irritated I can't buy the book anywhere. And even if could buy it, apparently I couldn't afford it. (+ for the chain gang pants) |

I'm in the same boat, ldischler. It was published in 1984, and I didn't even learn of its existence for another 12 years or so. By then, it was a collector's item, far out of my price range. I've found copies available at rare book sellers for about US$200, well out of my price range. I did get to peruse a copy though, through my local library's interlibrary loan program, for which I was very thankful. A state university had a copy which they loaned to my local public library for me. |

Maybe we could invite Luigi Serafini to become a halfbaker? |
|
|
Only if he brings his book. |

|
Isn't this very similar what [xenzag] once proposed to do with bikinis? I wonder which has precedence. |
|
|
Seeing as how xenzag didn't join until September, I'd say the original is here. |
