Chris Reccardi's psi-fi prints

Chris Reccardi, co-creator of the fantastic mod spy cartoon "The Modifyers" that I blogged yesterday, set up a little gallery of his psi-fi paintings in our new Boing Boing Bazaar/Makers Market! He's selling large prints of the hyperdelic illustrations, reproduced on stretched canvas in signed/numbered editions of 100. Chris Reccardi at the Makers Market/Boing Boing Bazaar

  I love it! I’m not sure how many others noticed, but I actully paused the Modifyers cartoon when the baron is playing his organ, when I noticed it was labelled with synth-y components – 2 oscillators, LFO, VCF, envelope generator, and screech, wail, and anguish (I must look for schematics for those last three…)

  What do you call this style? You know, the late-50′s to early-70′s magazine ad style, where everything is blue, and every hand has a martini? Girls’ eyes are never open, men wear suits, borders are curvy….? I remember seeing it in old magazines a lot, but it seems to have vanished. Surely it must have champions, somewhere on the net?

    I laughed…

  anyone who digs this should check out psychonauts; a game by doublefine. You’ll love Sascha Nein.

  The image on the right is obviously modeled on Blythe, a doll created by Hasbro and marketed by Ashton Drake in the USA, and TOMY Takara in Asia and Japan.

  I’m wondering if the artist is a fan of Blythe?

  I’ve been playing synths since 1972, though the reality of my cramped little studio is much more prosaic than Chris’s gorgeous painting – and it’s my cat, not a siren in a negligée, who waits impatiently for me to power down and redirect my attention.

  Still, this image is remarkably close to the idealized one I carry in my mind’s eye, and I’m thankful that you featured Chris’s work on BoingBoing. He’s got another customer!

  wow, evocative prints.

  Was just flipping through some recording studio photos and this one reminds me of one of those paintings:

  Just like an electronics nerd to choose a Moog over a sexy woman.
