Posthuman Blues

Luis Royo furnishes today's pin-up . . .





I love the drowned, presumably toxic, city. Royo is great at envisioning dark futures where the Singularity has gone horrifically awry, reducing humans to fetishistic props. (Paradoxically, the women in his illustrations seem basically immune to their blighted surroundings -- mirage-like sirens lying in wait for unwary tourists.)
