It’s being published by Gestalten, coming out on August 19th in Europe, and early October in the US.

It’s 256 pages long (I know!), with gorgeous writing by Scott Minneman, and introductions by absolute legends Lynn Goldsmith and Jean-Michel Jarre.

It's a really nice book. The images are beautiful, eerie, weird or just funny. It's more inspiring than the average boomer art you 'll find online (https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/ ... r_art_now/[/url]). Some images resemble paintings by Carel WIlink, René Magritte, Picasso or Kamagurka whil other photo' realistic stuff looks like the result of some pataphysical brainfarting and of course there are some JMJ 2025 Summer Tour-images. All in all, it's recommended book, especially for people who like magical realism and surrealism.

Oh cool, I thought this was AI-generated. I really liked the character from the cover, very adorable, it should be featured on the official merch

I think it still is?

In this video screen grab, below, over JMJ's left shoulder, is a sculpture that sits on a table in the corner of his Paris apartment:



From another video or picture (I can't recall which) I zoomed in to get this screen grab of the artwork:



I did a reverse image search on this but found no clues as to the name of the artwork or who the artist was, but I found it very intruiging. This was all in the middle of 2024, I think. Then we have the 2025 Summer Tour and during the Magnetic Fields 2 encore, we see this visual from David Szauder:



Are all these things related?
