May 22: World Goth Day... Centaur!


To commemorate World Goth Day...

Thank you Paul Faris for the amazing Gothic / Biomechanical artwork of Centaur.

Bad move human!

Goth isn't just a style. It's a state of mind.

Old Goths dont die. They just stop wearing black all the time.

I always wondered if William Gibson was inspired by the woman on Centaur for his character Molly Millions / Rose Kolodny / Sally Shears in Neuromancer / Sprawl trilogy.

Ballyhoo on top of Capersville

One was made in Janurary 1932. The other in December 1966.
34 years!
Thats how long it took Bally to go from a crude board with nails to an electro-mechanical masterpiece of design and art.

Capersville artwork by Jerry K, Kelley, influenced by the 1965 Jean-Luc Godard film Alphaville
