Look at things I love long enough and you will begin to see a common thread run through them, So in addition to maps, you can add my nerdy love of space suits, and their helmets in particular. I first got turned onto Owens’ work by these three images. Ryhs Owens is an illustrator from South Wales, UK and has been working as a professional artist for over a decade. His work is inspired by pop-culture with a twist of surreal apocalypse thrown in for extra flavor.
The use of the animals for the faces of what we would expect to under the helmets really caught my eye, I also see a few winks at Kubrick, who is also one of my favorites.
