How Bizarre. And how interesting. The web’s driving me nuts. All that wonderful and useless stuff out there – here’s the Top 100 of Compact Cassettes. Mind you, I still have a few of those. Found while browsing through the Belgian Linkdump site (going through this is sad, isn’t it?).

Elsewhere. Fantastic, Visionary, and Esoteric Literature in the 1960s and 1970s. Fab: Lots of old book covers again. Via pennydreadful.
This is a bibliography of visionary, occult, new age, fringe science, strange and even crackpot works published between 1945 and 1988. Added to the mix are some other works which may relate to them, or at least give a sense of the spirit of the times. The main emphasis is upon works produced between 1960 and 1980, as the subtitle suggests.

Joyce. I’ve set up a webpage dedicated to my Finnegans Wake illustrations. Go and have a look. To any publishers out there: Contact me now before I burn them. I’m getting fed up with the publishing business. And tell Joyce’s nephew or grandgrandson or whoever this person is to bugger off.

Bellrock. This is a typical British understatement: A Reference Site for Stevenson’s Bell Rock Lighthouse. Man, this site rocks! 60 pages of chronology, old paintings, old technical and architectural drawings – it’s fab! And nicely designed too.
This site commemorates probably Scotland’s greatest single engineering feat of the early 19th century; its creator and builder, ROBERT STEVENSON; the workmen and seamen who were engaged on its construction; and to JOHN RENNIE, who was appointed Chief Engineer to the project.
More about English, Irish and Scottish lighthouses can be found at the homepage of a lighthouse keeper.

Hans Ruedi. He’s now even dealing in custom made surfboards. Unbelievable. Anyway, here’s Giger’s homepage. An interesting page about his record covers is here – thanks to neurastenia for the link.
When I was about 20 years old and had just acquired my first airbrush, I sent a letter to HR Giger, basically asking him: “How do you do it?” Guess what – he replied. A very kind and nice letter from Switzerland, telling me everything I wanted to know: the colours he’s using, the materials, the templates. Brilliant. So after 23 years: Thank you! It did help!

Vintage Views is an enormous collection of old postcards. Enjoy.
Welcome to VintageViews! This page is a gateway to a suite of four websites with over 3000 pages. There are three sites based on my postcard collection, and an Illustrated History of my hometown, Rochester, NY.
The sites are laid out for easy navigation, and fast downloads. There’s a lot to see here, so sit back, relax, and look around.
