A black-and-white illustration of a gorilla's head made out of a complex pattern of black lines of various widths forming resembling engraving lines or a moiré interference pattern, with the label "GORILLA".
Unfortunately these are kinda underwhelming on-screen but I'd bet they look amazing in print. Or at least on a considerably higher-rez monitor than I'm using.

A forest service cabin on the USFS rental program surrounded by a grassy area in the foreground, then a forest of lodgepole pine in the background. The cabin in located on the Kootenai National Forest in NW Montana. My bicycle is leaning against the cabin in the porch.
I rode 76 miles out to this cabin last weekend for my birthday. This is Fairview Ranger Station in one of the lesser traveled areas of NW Montana. The route takes ALL the backroads to get here and back and has somewhat of a railroad theme, including following the bits and pieces of original alignment of the Great Northern RR, now converted to rails to trails and just actual roads. Day 2 was 84 mi and mirrors a good part of the later/current realignment, as well as following the Old Fort Steele Trail, which is a pretty rough and tumble jeep track. I'm happy to say that I'm still able to pull off this overly ambitious route at 54, although I'm definitely still feeling it mid-week.
Happy birthday. An excellent way and place to celebrate it.
Happy Belated!
Sounds like a great way to get away on your birthday.
even at your age :-)

Nice trip, and happy birthday
Happity-hap-haps. Keep riding and you'll be as old as me!
0h to be 54, Happy Birthday!
That sounds incredible, I am envious, and happy birthday!
Happy Happy!

Edit: to be honest, I couldn't believe this SHK didn't already exist.

Does it come with garlic sauce? It covers for a lot of poor quality meats.
Everyone tried to tell him it was too big.

A Lord of the Rings meme. Galadriel says, "You have seen Sauron." Frodo replies, "Yes." They each look at each other silently, then Galadriel says, "He's weirdly sexy, right?" and Frodo responds, "Oh my god. Thank you. Yes. I thought I was the only one."

A rocky sphere of a planet hovers like a balloon in a bright yellow sky. The planet is tethered to a small booth with a window, like those guard stations you see in parks. A path leads up to the booth, and is then blocked by a barricade. The booth sits in the middle of a green meadow. Someone is dimly visible in the window. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
Same as in town

OP, with Rickenbacker bass, and bandmate, on stage maybe 1984 or so
I wasn't fat! I had hair! The Rickenbacker wasn't trashed yet!(I still have it and want to renovate it - all I need is "keywinds" as they call the tuning machines, in. Rick-o-Land.
With the scratches and the hole in the middle and the fading this looks like a photo from 1870
So I'd say you're very sprightly. Hair or no.
I just back in front of a crowd with the ol' guitar for the first time in almost 20 years last week. It was a little shaky but felt great! Looking forward to making it a more regular thing again.
@WikiAdam awesome!
The guy who sent me these also sent AI-cleaned up versions later, but this will do.

There is a groove worn in the wood from where my thumb rested on the neck pickup - I have never done that to any other instrument.

The image is an artistic rendering of a bicycle, where two rolls of masking tape exist as the wheels and one of the rules of masking tape has some tape coming out of it, forming the front fork of the bicycle, and the rest of the bicycle is painted in white on a black background.
That's so well done.
@poorusher If I was in front of the actual art, I would be there for hours.
gah! My brain
@spingo It’s awesome, innit?!?
Is this by Christoph Niemann? It certainly smells like his work, so to speak.
@waa I couldn’t find an attribution. 😕
@m3moellering Wouldn't you know, it actually IS by him. In case he's new to you, just look at this page:

@bezt notes that the art director is none other than Jim Flora
When I was young I used to love these magazines from second-tier publishers or for professional specialties because the covers were always fascinating to stare at. Then I'd open them up and the contents were usually bollocks to a little kid who could barely read. Still ended up setting me on my life's path, though.
Oh man, this is so good
How was an illustration like this accomplished in 1966? Rulers, ink, and color separations, I presume?
@owl Somewhat.
There are a couple ways to have done it. How I would have done it is to pencil in the drawing on a board, and trace the red and black squared-off lines on two different acetates (one for black, one for red) using precision-width ruling tape, and draw outlines of the remainder with a ruling pen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... and fill them with a brush and ink.
This way there was no original artwork as such, it only existed as a sketch and a couple sheets of plastic with black ink and tape on them. It's how we would have been taught to do it when I was in design school, pre-desktop publishing era.
Now after saying that I've zoomed in on the pic, and it's pretty clearly all drawn by hand and ruler, no tape, on a single board and the printer made their own separations. Which sounds wild to me (way more expensive this way) because the back-cover ad is black-and-white. But who knows what was going on at the time.

For the dismayed face right above the remains of the shipping label!
@ardgedee thank you!
@ardgedee thanks for that insight. I was wondering how they'd done that too
@ardgedee @scruss Digging in to the table of contents, the art director is listed as James Flora. Unless I miss my guess, that's Jim Flora of minor jazz album cover art fame- checking his wikipedia page, yup. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

this was in my elementary school's library AND my public library so i checked it out as often as i could. one of my favorite things as a child. i especially loved all the wild depictions of what life could be like on other planets in the solar system
I have this on my bookshelf at work and I love it so much
I had this as a kid and someone awesome gave me a copy a few years back. I love this book.
Also loved this book as a kid. Still sitting on the bookshelf at my mom's house.
mashing the like button so hard.
This book was so influential on my young brain... science, scifi, art, typography/design, mythology, etc etc
