I love The Atrocity Exibition drawing. Love the birdman/woman whose feet are turning into tree stump-like matter. Very Ernst. I missed this little chapter of the site til now.

Your link gives a 404 btw, it's catching the period after the "html". I had seen those Foreman pics, yes. Interesting that we both opted for a similar approach (up to a point), doing a kind of drawn collage, perhaps inevitable with TAE seeing as the texts are collages themselves. My intent was more literal than Foreman's in that I wanted to include specific references from each chapter for each illustration, hence the bird figure from Europe After the Rain. Thanks Simon.

Not too literal but still suggestive. I'll pop it in the gallery. Have you seen Mike Foreman's drawings for the original edition of Atrocity -- the one that was pulped? Rick McGrath has them here: http://www.rickmcgrath.com/jgballard/jgbatrocity.html I like it, John. Not too literal but still suggestive. I’ll pop it in the gallery.

I completed the second one, The University of Death, then ran out of steam, and the whole idea was completely negated by the superior RE/Search edition of TAE. The University of Death drawing isn't on the site since the rendering of James Dean was pretty shameful. One of the earliest works of mine I can stand to see displayed in public is my drawing from 1984 intended to accompany the story (as opposed to the book) of The Atrocity Exhibition.
