A stretch of imagination







The same artist who did the picture I put on my “One of Those Days” post also did these.


I just wanted to show his other side.


His name is Tom Kidd and he’s primarily a sci-fi/fantasy illustrator.


I like these pictures because they seem like the love child of two of my favorite authors: Jules Verne & J.R.R. Tolkien.

Great pictures.

I really like the mixture of the old world, old time with the sci-fi element.

Thanks for sharing and for having a post that a non-philosophy can actually understand and comment :-)

"Non-philosophy type"?

I don’t know who you’re talking about, cuz it ain’t you.

Philosophy is a way of life, not a cheap degree.

And least you forget you were my main dialogue partner in high school.

I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for all those late night talks!!!

Oh my gosh, they are so beautiful, especially the blue one. It's like another world. Very cool.

I especially like pictures that make me want to get inside them!

Those pictures rule! It probably sounds overly-humanistic of me, but I just LOVE it when people try to synthesize beauty and technology together.

Reminds me of a movie quote: Yeeeeees, I love technology, but noooooot as much as you you see, but I stiiiiiiill love technology, always & forever.
