Thanks to MAKEzine for putting me onto Jeff de Boer’s beautiful artwork:

Atomic Duelling Pistols by Jeff de Boer

De Boer has the aesthetic just right for pulp science fiction. I have no idea whether the pistols can actually fling their fanciful atomic projectiles, but the work is beautiful nonetheless.

I always enjoy seeing fine machine work that’s turned to art and wish there was more of it. There is an office near my area that I visit from time to time. One of the partners of the firm collects patent models, another source of beautiful work and what a great display for a firm that invests in technology.
