It is ironical that to tell a story of the N O W it is best addressed as a fictional tale of a somewhere, a someday, in the future perhaps. Surely the things that the artwork and story describe are not "going on" as we speak? Are they? I mean . . . that would be too much. An overload. Well, if poisoned ...

 This or That is . . . Now and Then [Alan G Brooks 2018] ---| implanting of machine forces into humans |--- Man will, in time, manage to implant the death-forces in man, related to electrical and magnetic forces, with external machines. He will then be able to direct his intentions, his thoughts into the machine. ( Rudolf Steiner, Individuelle Geistwesen und einheitlicher Weltengrund, November 25, 1917, Dornach "Monskeeto" - Mosquito / Monsanto Alan G Brooks

Ever Onward . . .  Guard - Cloud Base - UNTOPIA - Ret Romanne - Comic One Continuing on from Part One  -  At top we see an armed guard from the Cloud Base Industrial Complex. This slum like city has become a prison, basically.  This was written in 2006 / 2007 - and military men on the street that enforced restrictions and compliance to government rule at gunpoint was a little extreme back then.  A little extreme inasmuch as it was very possible - but in reality - we never really thought we would be staring that situation in the face 14 or 15 years later, in this so called real life . The story was meant as a warning as to what might happen if we were not remaining vigilant.  We were always close to that situation - but there was always the belief somewhere that with a bit of luck it would never get to that level. Peace would prevail etc. Love would [as it is supposed to] -  Conquer All It didn't happen. Or as I should have said - It hasn't happened...

 Ret Romanne - [Retroman] Ret Romanne is from the United Nations Off World base of Utopia - or as those who reside there call it - UNTOPIA. A world of surveillance cameras, monitoring and investigation under the eyes of "Destinies Designed Corp."  Pat Riot, Operations Manager at the Corporation may have something to do with a fateful crash and Ret's demise both as a successful test pilot and as the partner of actress Glenda Swansong.  Ret thinks so.  Glenda was once a starlet in the making, but now works in the Diner at the end of the road where Ret [unbeknownst to Glenda] now lives. The couple fell apart after the crash. Now the world is rapidly falling apart with them as it spirals into more and more disastrous ways on its own course to  . . . who knows where!

This book was supposed to hit home and have uncomfortable truth's within it.  It was meant to provoke and make you uncomfortable in it's "what if" scenario.  Now we see it was prophetic all along.  It's happened - happening - and in your face - right now.  Unbelievable.  Actually, I'll rephrase that.  It is totally believable.  Nobody has to travel far to see it unfolding in their daily lives. Live and in color . . .  1984 The above piece was made a few years ago for a magazine when the story 1984 was still a novel.  A disturbing read at the best of times. Provocative and unnerving. But still just a novel. I didn't really expect to see it play out the way that it is. It seemed to be steadily getting closer. Then all of a sudden - and in fast forward - we are now suddenly  in it. Alan Brooks

Continuing  . . . . . . I showed some edited highlights from the Flying Saucer project Jay Brooks and I worked on back in 2006 / 2007. I have taken the color out of the pieces so that they ring more true to the 1950's B movie and Sci Fi tv fodder of the day back then. The likes of the Outer limits, Twilight Zone - and children shows shows such as Fireball XL5 and Space Patrol all had an impact. That show with its black and white imagery, robots and strange characters might just have been directed by David Lynch as far as I am concerned. Way ahead of it's time and equally as spooky! Page art from the project. Page art / panels. These pieces and the previous post have artwork that was allowing us to experiment with how my own stories might develop in a retro future way. The Doctor Clockheart story and artwork have a retro future look that echoes some of the experimentation that was tried out in some of the Flying Saucer project and art. Information downlo...

Versus the Earth . . . The Way We Were . . . Some notes and thoughts to go with artwork for an old project from around  2006 ish.  My son and I used to watch all the old sci fi movies and sword and sorcery epics while he was growing up in Birmingham in the eighties. We particularly liked Jason and the Argonauts, the animated tv shows of a Saturday morning - Star Fleet - Battle Star Galactica - Star Wars of course - and  . . well, I could go on and on. But we pretty much devoured it all. It was great fun. So when the opportunity came where we could work alongside some of those shows and people that inspired us - you'd better believe we took it! Overkill! I have posted the color versions of some of the artwork made for the Flying Saucer project shown here over at   the website Cover art I have posted the black and white versions of the work here. I believe these versions really are in keeping with the feel and atmosphere of the shows...

 . . . what? MANSTROSITY! I said "R.4. - Dawn of the Vymme" . . . it's in part a retelling of the legend of King Arthur and his knights of the round table. It is a story to keep the legends and mythology of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales alive. It is also done with a steampunk, and cyberpunk "twist" if you like. The Dawn of the Vymme part is a tip of the hat to all the old fifties and sixties Hammer Horror type films, Outer Limits tv show and so on. R.4. - Dawn of the Vymme R.4. - Dawn of the Vymme. An Arthurian sci fi steampunk mash up! Now and then . . . retro future . . . or is there no future? . . . Time will tell. Ruination - ruined nation - from the ashes . . .
