Resistance is futile!
Of course an hommage to the Star Trek series (TNG rules!) and especially to the Borg.

And now for something completely different…
The original images and animations for the BBC series “The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy” have been done by Rod Lord.
They’re not computer generated.

Another visit at the surrealists – on of their most famous members is probably René Magritte. The mug is based on his images “La Connivence”, “La Grande Famille”, “La Chambre d’ecoute”, “La Condition Humaine” and – last but not least – “La Trahison des Images”.

After the short trip to the world of science fiction, it had to be something of a “higher cultural value” again.
Since the release of Douglas R. Hofstadter’s book “Gödel, Escher, Bach”, computer scientists appreciate the artwork of M. C. Escher, if not earlier.

So this simple adaption of his well known “Metamorphosis” images suggested itself.

Why not trying an entirely different type of classic? Still one of my favourite movies – this means the first/original one only…

No pop art this time, but a well known image nevertheless.

Another classic piece of pop-art that had to be done.
And perfectly fitting with the shape of a mug…

Pop art the third… …this time a mug.
After having failed with the “Lichtenstein” design one year before, it had to be done now. I think, I’ve found a way to put all the necessary items into it – the name “cFos”, the “Practice Random…” line and the “42”, of course.

The second Pop-Art T-Shirt.
First, I planned doing a Lichtenstein based image. I already had done some sketches, but none of them really worked. Neither the company name nor the “Practice Random…” line could be integrated into them in a smart way.

Then I saw a Haring poster hanging on a wall and it took only a few minutes to get the final design.

For quite a long time I didn’t have a good idea for the next shirt, so I decided to follow the motto “I recover my property wherever I find it”.

Actually, I liked this kind of playing around with a pop-art classic. So I decided to do it the same way for the next years.
