I guess in that future men will all be buff pipe smokers and women will fawn all over us in their underwear. I think they missed the mark if they were looking 50 into the future.

 

[CurtSibling]

I prefer that future to the crappy one we got!

 

[Hygro]

That's my future.

 

[Kyriakos]

Hm, the man there vaguely reminds me of some actor - any resemblance to someone known?

What makes you think those are women and not sex robots ?

 

[CurtSibling]

I was under the impression this thread was for posting images, not robot fetishes.

Another work by Dimitris Anastasiou:



(yes, he is the -metaphor for being- castrated one below the table)
Also notice the card of Christ's last supper

More elegantly, what i like - and is a feature in other works of his - is that the house is on the ground floor, and even the window is open, but still the child cannot aspire to get any help from others - it seems to be alluding to how the family life is closed up, even if a child needs help.

the child

You mean the bearded guy under the table?

 

[Kyriakos]

You mean the bearded guy under the table?

Yes; he is there as he now is (or was, that is a 2 year old work i think) but clearly symbolizes the child, no?

 

[Kyriakos]

And another work of his, this time from 2011. Titled "The Sleepwalker"

The Atlas V is the only asymmetric rocket flying since the Shuttle was retired.

 

[CurtSibling]

One of the craziest game covers of a golden era...

 

[Hygro]

This rock will never be more appropriate in a cool pictures thread than this one. Been sitting on this pic for almost the whole thread. Zoom in on this one.

 

[Silurian]

What is it.
A basalt conglomerate in a sandstone matrix?

Something like that. Looks a lot like concrete too.

 

[Cutlass]

 

[Yeekim]

What is it.

And what makes it cool?
I don't mind if one finds random rocks to be cool, but is there something for a non-geologist that I'm missing?
