Not only Philip José Farmer but Polish poster artist Franciszek Starowieyski also died this week, something I probably wouldn’t have known had it not been for the indefatigable Jahsonic. I mentioned Starowieyski’s stunning work earlier this month since he produced the poster for Hour-Glass Sanatorium by Wojciech Has. There’s a further link to Bruno Schulz with another of his posters appearing very briefly at the beginning of Street of Crocodiles by the Brothers Quay.

Didn’t know his work, but the guy was good. It kind of reminds me of H. R. Giger.
Alwaysa bad to lose good artists.

Thank you for the information. I like his work.
Spooky, but memorable. Thanks for sharing.
