More Flickr uploads and Pierre Lacombe
Posted on April 9, 2009 | Posted under Sharing
Word is I’ve been uploading like mad to my Flickr account. I recently picked up a good 30 issues of Omni Magazine, from its first few years in print. I’ve been going through and have been scanning some of the more interesting images. The two above are by French artist Pierre Lacombe, who unfortunately does not seem to have much of a presence anywhere on the internet.
Scott Hansen of ISO50 also has a post up with some more Omni goodness.
Action on the blog here has been slow lately as I’ve been a bit busy, but I’ll try to keep the good stuff coming! I’ve actually been taking a bit of a vacation from the art and design world in favor of the music world lately, but I think its time to shift back.

I am looking for a copy of a cover he did for Omni in the 80s, (October issue) that is very similar in color and character to the one above. It is a swamp scene with a girl crouched looking frog-like. I can not find it anywhere. Any assistance would be appreciated. I love Pierre’s work.

Hey zOOmz, unfortunately I’m not familiar with the cover you describe, but I’m sure if I run across it in the future it’ll find its way onto the blog!

I am also looking for Pierre Lacombe artwork. I bought a poster of the original artwork for May 1980 cover which was damaged, and I would love to replace it.

Great scans – there’s a small, but hardcore, fanbase of “vintage” Omni magazine (i.e., the first couple of years or so), and we love finding good scans of the covers and art on-line. Thanks!
