art by David Pelham for J. G. Ballard's "The Wind From Nowhere", 1961
it's like, there's this big heavy tool of destruction and war, terrifying, but it's blowing in the wind, giant forces, overwhelming forces, are operating now. The mighty tank builders and their wars are meaningless here. haha. Really effective and simple imho. I haven't read this yet but I read and really liked "The Drowned World" by the author.

I really dig science fiction & comic book artwork, movies and posters, and anything that is visually cool.
