It's no secret that we're major fans of the work of Swedish illustrator Simon Stålenhag over here at Lodown. Now there's a fair chance that his unique snapshots from an alternate future - or past - where technology and science once shaped their suroundings, are finally being compiled in two new books.

“Stålenhag's paintings from a childhood that never was and a future that could have been – collected in a two book volume. His retro-Scandinavian sci-fi images have been wildfire across the internet in the last few years. Now - not only is his first artbook coming in English for the first time - with your help, we will publish a brand new second book as well, continuing his amazing story.“ Check the Kickstarter campaign over here.
