Francisco Ramirez is always fun to chat with at Flatstock and he is a huge World War 2 history fan. This was the first of many science fiction themed posters by Francisco. So you ask how is this sci-fi? The idea that Germany won the space race before the USSR or the USA.
"The Space Race can trace its origins to Nazi Germany, beginning in the 1930s and continuing during World War II when Germany researched and built operational ballistic missiles. Starting in the early 1930s, German aerospace engineers experimented with liquid-fueled rockets, with the goal that one day they would be capable of reaching high altitudes and traversing long distances."
But say that Germany got to space first but didn't return back. This is the inspiration for this print.
Deadnaut I (Restrike) is 1 color on Black French Paper and measures 19 x 25

Love the horror/sci-fi vibe... Reminds me a little of Event Horizon which is a criminally underrated horror/sci-fi flick!

On earth, body heat can be whisked away by water or air, but in space heat would be radiated away, which is a very slow process.

It is always good to see someone pull of a dark yet beautiful poster. I will be honest and say I am not really au fait with sci-fi... I suppose I could claim that I have read Dune? That would have to be it.

ReplyDelete"First rule in government spending: Why build one when you can have two at twice the price? Only, this one can be kept secret? Controlled by Americans, built by the Japanese subcontractors... who, also happen to be, recently acquired, wholly-owned subsidiaries... of Hadden Industries. They still want an American to go, Doctor... wanna take a ride?"

I'll show my age here and say this print reminded me of the space scenes in the movie ''Heavy Metal". On a unrelated note- Deep Purples "Space Trucking" is also now stuck in my head.
