Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Really cool. I'd never heard of this guy, although I now realize that I'd seen and liked many of his paperback covers and movie posters without really putting it together that I was admiring the work of a single artist. (Kind of the way most people look at all art, but I try not to be one of those people.)
Prompted by your post, I've found more web resources with Robert McGinnis art and commentary.
Thanks for posting this! You really do have a talent for finding the very best stuff...one of the reasons I (and so many others) consistently check your site.
Ah classic pulp art! You're finally discovering his greatness. He was responsible for so many detective paperback books and even did the original James Bond posters. Personally I always dug these kinds of paintings because it was fun to make up a story out of the settings.
his Bond Posters are the best.
