Frank Miller said of this book; “Alien – The Illustrated Story might just be the only successful movie adaptation ever done in comics. It’s an amazing graphic novel.” You may disagree with Miller but the comment shows just how good this graphic novel is. Alien – The Illustrated Story is an old one; the original […]
The movie timeline of the future [infographic]
This infographic from Michael Hobson is pretty cool. He’s a designer and illustrator based in London and one of the founders of Digital Sizzle. I’m not entirely sure he’s a fan of Ghost in the Shell. Then again; Cowboy Bebop is on the list so perhaps he’s an anime fan after all. The future according […]
The alien guitar
Gearing up for Prometheus? This alien guitar might capture your attention. Gig Goldstein spent days carving this H.R. Giger inspired work. “A detailed carving job can take between 40 to 50 hours to complete, the most difficult stage is in the design of the subject. I try to strive for a flow to the overall […]
Alien: The Easter Edition
There’s the strong feeling that this John Seaward (The Inbetweeners) video was inspired by the forthcoming Prometheus movie. That said, the YouTube credits not that any similarity of characters and events in this video to Ridley Scott’s Alien are entirely coincidental and unintended. Sure they are, sure they are.
Alien art in London
Drawing inspiration from Alien and encouraged by the Prometheus movie that’s on its way artists have treated Great Eastern Street in London with some impressive alien visuals.

What if E.T. was an alien?
Sometimes cycle around and around on the internet. There’s been a few of these evergreen images on Geek Native before; Sir Ian McKellen’s (faked) Gandalf/Magneto tee or Optimist Prime versus Negatron for an example. Here’s another; E.T. as an… alien. That alien. There are plenty of variants of this image. A busier one; In fact, […]
Ride the Xenomorph
Built from scrap in a Bangkok garage by Roongrojna Sangwongprisarn, the alien motorcycle, actually goes. Sangwongprisarn has four shops, called Ko Art Shop, from which he sells his fantatic creation. If you’re rich enough he also exports them around the world. If you’re brave enough you could actually ride this thing. Via Design You Trust.
This is the sound at the end of the Prometheus trailer
The web is abuzz for the trailer of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. The film started life as a prequel to Alien. That notion was then dismissed and denied by 20th Century Fox. Then it became a film in the same universe as Alien – sharing “strands of Alien’s DNA”. Certainly, when you watch the Prometheus trailer […]
Aliens on Ice
I think this proves there is life in the franchise yet. I’m talking about Alien and Aliens but not Prometheus. If you’re not tracking then Prometheus is the “yes it is” and “no it is not” Alien prequel. This video, however, is clearly Aliens. It’s Aliens on Ice.
Big head alien USB
Hmm. This USB stick isn’t at all my taste but it strikes me as an excellent joke present for someone – or, perhaps, a statement to make on the office desk. It’s the way the mouth appendage bobs back and forth that makes this alien that degree of speshal. It lights up too.
