Sci-Fi Art Feature — Joakim Ericsson

Hey there SciFi fans!

Although he was originally a classically trained painter, Joakim Ericsson has now found his calling as a concept artist. Known for his incredibly detailed pieces, his work also stands out because of his expert use of color, and mastery of perspective. He is based in Stockholm, Sweden.

Ericsson is a fantastic world-builder, which he and I have discussed in the context of Singularity’s Children; It’s quite an immense feat to think up an alternate reality, and I have a lot of respect for the kid of detailed drawings that he’s able to produce on the heel of that imagination.

Here are a few of his awe-inspiring visuals:

Elon Musk at SXSW


I love listening to Elon. I know why people hate him too; its because he says a lot of crazy things which they find scary. It makes them feel better to say he’s all talk… but this guy is the real deal!

“Right now the biggest thing that would be helpful is support and encouragement, goodwill,” Musk said.
Well, you’ve got mine buddy!! 🙂

The bees can’t know the colorful blobs they endeavor to pollinate—all covered in sticky sweetness—are toxic, garbage, saccharine, landfill…

What a tragic sign, like a birds-nest made of garbage.
