Quipsologies
~ Vol. 15 ~

A good variety in this edition of Quipsologies.

~ M. KINGSLEY ~

A propos of last week’s election results, as the French rejected the European Union constitution — a collection of posters from May 1968.

~

On y reste… Back in Quipsologies Vol. 4, we linked to editor Frédéric Royer’s claims that the third issue of his satirical magazine, l’Anti-Américain, would not be printed following a visit from mysterious agents. Last week I received a mass email from M. Royer; announcing that both issues are now available on the web.

~

A few days after the French voted ‘Non’, the Dutch voted ‘Nee’. Here are two interesting graphics from the campaign:

On the left, a logo from the left-wing Comité Grondwet Nee, led by journalist Willem Bos.
A PDF file of the poster is available here.

On the right, the logo of Dutch under-minister for European Affairs, Atzo Nicolai’s website. When read sideways, the ‘E’ becomes a ‘nl’ for ‘Netherlands’.

~ BRYONY ~

A great collection of anonymous secrets mailed on homemade postcards. [Thanks to Antonio for the link]

~

Apple is expected to announce this week its switch from IBM to Intel processors.

~

Success is closer for addresses that end in .xxx, thanks to Icann.

That .xxx domain would have made SO much sense back in 1999.

Arm:

The article doesn't specify this. Charles White III and Drew Struzan collaborated on approximately three or more posters for Star Wars in 1978.

Sruzan was given a major feature in one of the early Airbrush Digest, Airbrush Action, How and/or Step By Step Graphic Magazines.

Don't recall which publication.

That collaboration certainly put Drew Struzan

on Radar. And now Struzan is almost as revered as BOB PECK. The Illustrator Choice; when it comes to depicting Cinematic Imagery.

Charlie White the master of Chrome, water droplets, surreal juxtaposition of imagery; has remained one of the most influential airbrush luminares ever. Although, he's retired from Illustration and concentrates mostly on Design.
