The Kirgiz Light feat. Tchitchernine, by Reddit user /u/Easy_Albatross_3538

One of a long series of drawings by this artist based on scenes from Pynchon's novel Gravity's Rainbow. I love how his use of embedded geometric forms in the landscape and sky suggests latent ambiguous meaning in the scene, as if the earth and sky are trying to tell the viewer something. That feeling is very evocative of this iconic scene from the novel.

@GoldenBrown @RecordCratesUnited Beautiful! Love the title, I assume it's a direct reference?

Playing with print-on-demand. Made a shirt with a reference so obscure, I’m pretty sure I’m the only one who will ever buy it. @ubikandtonic

Gibt es hier eigentlich noch andere -Fans? Seit ich in meinem ersten Doktor-Anlauf über seine Bücher promovieren wollte, lese ich alle Jahre mal wieder und bin aufs Neue fasziniert. Für mich einzigartige Beobachtung aller Zeitthemen: Technik, Medien/Information, Geschlecht und Sexualität...schreiberisch eine atemberaubende Muschung der Register und Genres, die sehr lustig wirkt, aber auch das Sagbare/für wen? mitreflektiert. Schönes auch für die , Pulp, Grusel, SF, Mystery.

Beyond The Zero

And now for something completely different on the design front: this one is a reference from Gravity's Rainbow. I feel like every obsessive niche fandom deserves its own fan art.

The image depicts the titular rainbow, the parabola of the Rocket passing through the signature 00000 at Brenschluss. This symbolizes many things but particularly the loss of the conditioned self and what lies beyond that.

I’ve given up on removing the 9 yr old whipped cream stain. It’ll take some heavy weights to flatten the roll marks in this area rug— and are pretty heavy, plus a little

What a funny, charming, and slightly haunting film Inherent Vice is. After almost 10 years I finally got around to watching it, and now can't get the voice of Sortilège (Joanna Newsom) out of my head. Also, Vitamin C by Can is an incredible banger, I had no idea!

I wonder if the muted post horn people have migrated from the bird site?

Fanatical, but so what?

I have warm memories of Boston because when I was 23, I worked there for a summer and didn’t know anybody in town, and spent my off-hours drinking beer and reading Gravity’s Rainbow. It’s the only way I ever got through that book. I was moving to a college town that fall and I knew there was social utility in reading . But I liked it a lot! And I hope he’s feeling good and writing stuff
