Farshid Mesghali and Morteza Momayez were influential figures in Iranian graphic design during the 1960s–70s. Their work combines modernist simplicity with cultural motifs, creating visuals that still resonate today.

#NowWatching HOUR OF THE WOLF (1968). Director: Ingmar Bergman. Max von Sydow, Liv Ullmann.

This descent into madness & hallucination is often cited as Bergman's only horror film, but I kinda disagree.

It's either not horror...
Or not his only horror...

The Liverpool Software Gazette lasted for only 8 issues with the first appearing in November 1979 and the last in February 1981. Published by Microdigital Ltd., it covered all of the home computers of its time. Sadly, the owners sold it to Apple magazine who changed it to Apple only content!

in my office i found these i did for the #miniMonotoneBookClub. i wouldn’t read anything by either of those authors again.

here’s a new pixelly one that i loved by Lara Prior-Palmer

#art #1bit #monotone #pixelart #ドット絵 #oc #픽셀아트 #doodle #digitalart #illustration #sketch

a black and white pixelly drawing /photo collage of the book cover ‘rough magic’ by lara prior-palmer. a figure is astride a horse along a meadow.

two tiny monochrome drawings of two separate book covers. ‘the ocean at the end of the lane’ by neil gaiman shows a glowing spectral figure emerging from a hedgerow. ‘the name of the wind’ by patrick rothfuss shows a single hooded, cloaked figure.
