Zardoz T-Shirt
Finally received my Zardoz custom t-shirt I designed and had printed. I’m very happy indeed. Now the guys at the office will all be ordering one. It’s funny that a 40 year old bad Connery movie has caused such a stir at the office, especially since Eric brought it and we watched it [...]

All of the sides have done this, “bottle hot water for dehydrated [...]

Just came across an amazing set of pulp comic book covers from the 1950’s and 60’s. All illustrated by Ron Turner. Some of the imagery is amazing, I just love getting a glimpse of what people 50-60 years ago thought the future and science fiction would be.
