Nikola Tesla

Inspired by the top logo of GOOGLE (which informed me today was Nikola's birthday), I decided to pay a tribute, in the old fashioned way, to the great Tesla, a figure that has defintiely all the cards to be included in any pulp story (fictional or real).
Loved what they did with him in "The Prestige" (played by the excellent David Bowie).

Happy Birthday, Nikola!

Cheers,
Francesco

Classic Portraits: Errol Flynn in "Captain Blood" (1935)

Hello Pulp Friends,

I hope you are enjoying this series because I got a new one to throw into it before starting to work ;)

Today's portrait is dedicated to Errol Flynn in the swashbuckling fun of "Captain Blood", where he starred with Olivia de Havilland.
This is definitely not the last time we see him: a few other famous movies with Flynn call for being tributed ;)

Cheers,
Francesco
