Four pages devoted to Rossum's Universal Robots by Karl Capek from 1921. The origin of the word "robot". Nice production photos, sketches and posters. Some can be clicked on for larger versions.

A nice, large diagram of one of Rossum's Robots: http://davidszondy.com/future/robot/rur_details.jpg

Project Indigo (working title): Design of a vertical seaside metropolis "In december 2007 I sketched around a single theme for a while as a personal side project. I tried to envision what a huge -vertical- seaside city would look like in a world where dry land is very precious. This city would be situated on a huge pillar in a 'cavity' in the sea; possibly an inactive volcano crater of some sorts. I assumed a level of technology of western European countries around the seventeenth century. Naturally I had to take some huge liberties with the actual mechanical possibilities of these constraints to make a city in a hole in the sea work, not to mention a vertical city. As far as technique was concerned, I was not interested in creating pretty pictures, but I wanted to present a more or less solid approach to the theme described above."

It makes me really happy finding this page on Twitter! Seeing all those doodles and sketches from classical writers like Jorge Luis Borges, Franz Kafka, and Vladimir Nabokov not only makes the experience of reading so much precious but brings one closer to the authors. Ian

Larger, grainy version of the Mannheim painting can be seen here: http://www.nevadaobserver.com/Archive/040501/Images/26.%20Execution%20of%20Maximilian.jpg

Includes other versions, sketches and a timeline of Manet's work on The Execution of Maximilian.

A great place you see how a simple idea transfers to an work full of surprises. His works got the forms, the colors, and great concept - definitely a good place for you to hang out in a lazy summer afternoon.
