Tentacle-horror Victorian engraving remixer Dan Hillier's got a couple of new t-shirts out; I got one today and it's stupendous! (he's also got a series of new engravings)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    I put together a couple of “engraving remixes” myself.

    Very crude stuff when compared to Max Ernst, the surrealist painter, who published the graphic novel “Une Semaine de Bonté” (A Week of Kindness) in 1934.

    His art is pretty cool. I like.

    I hate to be this pedantic (but I’ll explode if I don’t), but those are almost certainly antlers, not horns (on the imaginary cyclops person, sigh).

    Neat, but where the heck would you wear that t-shirt?

  • Sunny1972

    Love it, except for plaid

    Why is it that everybody loves cyclopes but nobody loves unibrows?

  • wolfiesma

    Dude, its all a-BOUT the unibrow!

      Yeah, but the moral of that story is that people with unibrows end up full of carpet tacks. Artistically NSFW

    It could probably be pointed out by a spoilsport that he isn’t actually creating engravings, but rather manipulating scans of engravings from Dover clip-art books. Still, creepy shirt…
