I love the art from the covers of old Robert E Howard Conan Stories.

I have a book (those cheap taschen paperbacks) consisting of 30's-50's conceptual illustrations of the future. It's wonderful and utterly naive stuff (i.e. people living in space cities, but still using operator to connect their calls). Most of the stuff in this thread looks like concept art for videogames and films. |

Some of that stuff is lovely. There's definitely something to be said for the excitement of not knowing. Once man had actually landed on the moon, while one part of his imagination could explode, another inevitably had to close down. There's definitely something to be said for ignorance, when it produces stuff like this: |
