Moleskine pages - The Alien Who Survived The Landing

I was obsessed with Aliens as a child: fearful and excited at the same time. I'd watch the stars for hours imagining that I could see traffic coming towards Earth. I came to the conclusion that I could befriend the newcomers and draft them into my army, where we would fight all the horrible grown-ups that were making my life difficult. Sadly, they never came, and I learnt to rescue myself!

Life on Our Moon

This portfolio of hand-tinted lithographs purports to illustrate the "discovery of life on the moon." In 1836, Richard E. Locke, writing for the New York Sun, claimed that the noted British astronomer Sir John Herschel had discovered life on the moon. Flora and fauna included bat-men, moon maidens (with luna-moth wings), moon bison, and other extravagant life forms. Locke proposed an expedition to the moon using a ship supported by hydrogen balloons. what an imagination, and of course they had to sex things up a little!
