I adored this isotope image as a kid. Its from a thick book of facts from the Sixties called What do You Know.
There was just something about it - the inherent danger of messing with something dreadful - that made me recreate it years later on a poster. One of my mates' Mums said 'I'm worried about you Woodsy' after seeing it! ha ha!
Did you make posters as a kid or fiddle with chemicals?
Didn't mess with chemicals as a kid, but as a student, I have stood on the top of the containment of a Nuclear reactor that was working!
ReplyDeleteGood Lord! Where?
DeleteUniversity research reactor in Risley. I was studying physics, not protesting against Nuclear power! There was a hole next to me that they only blocked just before criticality, which, helpfully, stopped me from getting showered in fast neutrons!
DeleteI'm actually fiddling with a poster at the moment! With my non-linear construction methods, I'm running full bore ahead on prepping my puppet film AND designing a vintage style Australian Daybill for the finished product all at the same time!
ReplyDeleteIncredible Looey, you're a dynamo!
