Obscure retro-futuristic art
Over at Dark Roasted Blend, Avi Abrams has compiled a lovely collection of retro-futuristic artwork as part of a new series collecting these "vintage visions of the future." But rather than showcase the usual American pulp art fare, Abrams is seeking "artwork from rather unlikely sources: Soviet & East Block "popular tech & science" magazines, German, Italian, British fantastic illustrations and promotional literature - all from the Golden Age of Retro-Future (from 1930s to 1970s)." Seen here, Gennady Golobokov's "Socialist Space Workers" (1973). Link

...This would have been more welcome if someone hadn't spammed the URL to about 5000 usenet newsgroups last night. Most of us over on sci.space.* killfiled the sender on sight, as usually that sort of crossposting usually means porn spam and/or some psychotic crap by Daniel Joseph Min.
That being said, the retro space art was actually pretty cool...:-)
Om, I'd like to know more about that. Send me an email at abramsv@gmail.com

"East Block"?
Try "Eastern Bloc" instead.
The "Mars Snooper," here, was turned into a model rocket, here.
