All that breathe Will share thy destiny. The gay will laugh When thou art gone, the solemn brood of care Plod on, and each one as before will chase His favorite phantom; yet all these shall leave Their mirth and their employments, and shall come And make their bed with thee
(line 60-66, William Cullen Bryant's "Thanatopsis")
Emsh's sci-fi illustrations were non-pariel, completely opposite of his films. They were amazingly realistic, and perfectly accurate to whichever story they accompanied - so much so that when I re-read an old story with new illustrations, I just can't even look at 'em.
Um... whoa. That was absolutely nothing like the only other Emshwiller I've seen ("George Dumpson's Place"). I dug this one a lot, and I'll bet Chris Cunningham does too.

And make their bed with thee

a very compelling piece of work - puts most modern video-art to shame. this is brilliant stuff guys - keep it up.
(and i learnt what the word thanatopsis meant too - expanding one's vocabulary is always good)
