While looking at Stanislaw Lem books covers to illustrate my previous blog post, I came across Peter Haars’ work. He’s a Norwegian graphic designer who did book covers, comics, and other artwork. I couldn’t find any of his comics, which is a shame, because if they’re anything like his book covers, I’m sure they’re amazing.<\/p>\n

He’s got several interesting themes running through his covers. Here you can see the eye-in-landscape theme:<\/p>\n

He’s also got a nice theme of human faces melting into inanimate objects:<\/p>\n

This guy fits nicely into my search for weird landscapes for inspiration. Here’s another iteration of the eye-in-landscape theme, for another C.S. Lewis book:<\/p>\n

Here’s an interesting variation on the person mirrored in an inanimate object:<\/p>\n
