I love vintage science/sci-fi art like the retro-futurism stuff featured at paleofuture.com. I just found this great Flickr pool of art from science books from the 50's through the 70's - it's a treasure trove of fantastic designs.

I'm really into this tree up the street from me that has all these eyes all over it. It's been watching me pass by for years now and I only just noticed the other day. This is its face. I'm drawing a picture of it.
