The Sunrise Lands

The OverDrone has just finished this book. The fourth set in an apocalyptic world where physics has gone awry. This is the first in a set of four and The OverDrone could not set it down. Despite it being Thanksgiving The OverDrone found himself being swept far away from the turkey and stuffing. Nobody does the mil-spec alternate worlds stuff like SM Stirling.

Marc Palm's Junk Drawer

30 paintings of fantastical creatures in 30 days. At first The OverDrone was put off by the plain backgrounds but seeing them all together like this the blankness creates a shared dreaming, a floating world.

U B U W E B - Film & Video: Wim Delvoye


Short post today due to family being over for the holidays. The OverDrone spent the day at the Field Museum. As always the totem poles totally impressed.
Wim Delvoye produces a similar sense of wonder albeit at a lesser magnitude in his short film Sybille II. Beauty is not always thirty feet tall and made of wood. The OverDrone has found no way to embed this so click here and push play.
