I always really liked these pieces. Mixing the mundane with scifi.
My friend does something similar and paints scifi elements on top of old boring prints from second hand stores. I'll have to get a picture and share.
I love his work, I’m in the kickstarter for his new book and I can’t wait to see it
Oh I didn't know that existed
Yeah, I supported his Labyrinth book (which is great) on there a while ago, so I got notified when the kickstarter for Swedish Machines was launched. It should be getting delivered fairly soon, I can’t wait!
Wasn't they're also a game that was based on the art coming out soon? I think I remember a bit of controversy thanks to the game makers not really asking him for permission.
There is a tv show called tales from the loop based on his work.
There's this movie coming soon that seems rather... Inspired by these landscapes. They put him in the credits.
I assumed Simon worked on this when I saw the trailer. Yeah, "inspired", haha, man.
That might be what I was thinking of.
There's a ttrpg of the same name as well. I haven't heard about any controversy though.
You may have conflated two separate things there. There’s a table-top game that, if iirc, he had a hand in making, which gets fairly well reviewed I think. There’s also a TV series (loosely) based on Tales From The Loop, which has essentially lost everything of value from the narrative of the book.
