Gillian Anderson still makes anything sexy. 57 year old Gillian Anderson makes me feel tingly in my groin region.
Of course my tastes age with me.

They are evil. I take full precautions. Long pants tucked into my boots, still I find a few that migrated their way to my groin.
I had one these bad boys in my first house I bought, built in 1940's. Replaced it, regretted it because than you have to mess with batteries (no electrical wire - just signal). Also felt like the old one was just more accurate. But you can't program them.
Careful lot of them contain mercury. Think even more modern ones do before digital.
Is it safe for cats to drink wine?
Can confirm, I just spent 15mins driving behind a beat-up minivan with this message in full coverage vinyl lettering on their back window.
I recalled this imagine instantly. Haven't seen that in awhile. I feel like I saw this originally in Rolling Stone? Too damn lazy to look it up.
Oh god I'm turning into dust as I type this out.
The sex sells bit of these kind of makes sense for Duchovny since he recently did the Red Shoe Diaries (Showtime softcore porn) right before being cast for X-Files.
Still hyper-90s, if you all like this watch literally any music video around that time as well.
Forgot the crop for authentication.
I'd have to vote not AI. Just scanned it really close and looks very much like digital art shading and the disconnected lines are a artistic choice.
I can see where he drew the outline the fill and the shading, looks natural. But it's hard as hell to tell each day.
Think the safest thing artists can do these days is a return to physical media (paint, ink, charcoal). Digital art like this is just so easy for AI to shit out. Not a craft issue, not because it's easy. But because digital is heavily in it's toolkit.
Ian Miller (born 1946, London) is a British illustrator renowned for his dense, gothic, and surreal pen-and-ink style. Emerging in the early 1970s, he became a defining visual voice in fantasy and science fiction publishing, illustrating works by Ray Bradbury, H.P. Lovecraft, and J.R.R.Tolkien, and contributing to Heavy Metal and early Warhammer concept art.
The artwork used as the thumbnail for this post was created for the book cover "R is for Rocket" written by Ray Bradbury a titan among 20th-century American writers, a titan among 20th-century American writers. This piece was one of Ian Miller’s early commissions at the start of his career. He went on to illustrate additional covers for Bradbury and Lovecraft around this period.
Here, I’m focusing on his early works and later reworks of the same books to highlight his stylistic evolution during the 1970s.
1972 "R is for Rocket" published by Pan Books.
1972 "S is for Space" published by Pan Books.
These covers were later redesigned by Ian Miller for Bantam Books.
1978 "R is for Rocket" published by Bantam Books.
1978 "S is for Space" published by Bantam Books
It’s fascinating to see Miller’s evolution between these editions! From his early surrealism into the darker, more intricate gothic geometry that would become his trademark.
Below are more examples of his art, but I highly encourage exploring his portfolio further and watch his interview. Miller’s work has left a lasting mark on the visual language of science fiction, horror, and fantasy alike. Share your favorites!

This artwork by Norm Saunders was created for the 1962 Mars Attacks trading card series from Topps. Based on sketches by Wally Wood and Bob Powell, Saunders painted the final image in oil for Card #17, “Beast And The Beauty”.
An earlier version featured a man in bed, but the published card replaced him with a woman, a common pulp convention of the time to heighten drama and appeal. The series, conceived by Len Brown and Woody Gelman, became infamous for its lurid sci-fi violence and was briefly pulled from stores before gaining cult status.
