Jetsons Promotional Art

Scene from the famous 1962 episode of the Jetsons, A Date With Jet Screamer.  Not only did Hanna-Barbera’s cartoon give us a colorful atomic age/Googie look at the 2060s, this episode gave us the awesome teen pop idol of the future, Jet Screamer, and his infectious tune, “Eep Opp Ork (Means I love You).  Daughter Judy Jetson was a Jet Screamer fan girl whose father, George, intentionally mixed up her entry to Jet Screamer’s lyric writing competition with her younger brother Elroy’s secret code chart.  It turns out that Elroy’s code was selected as the winning entry.  On a technical note, Judy was the legitimate winner because she also wrote the code words for Elroy!

Look at the eye-catching shapes.  Teen like in the 2060s as seen in the 1960s must be fun!

1960s-esque Tech Operator, Source Unknown

It looks like a promo picture for a Pan Am spaceliner stewardess in 2001: A Spacy Odyssey, but that’s unlikely.  Anyone with more information on this panpunk vintage vision, I’d greatly appreciate it.

LXLRLXI from Wallpapers R Us

LXLRLXI is a furutistic concept car with atompunk/panpunk overtones, and of course, it’s in cherry red!

2001 Centrifuge by Robert McCall

Concept art from the iconic Stanley Kubrick film.  This image, unlike the widescreen presentation in the movie itself, provides a sense of the scale in the Discovery’s interior.

Skype by Reksa Lumina (2011)

Retrofitting today’s world into the atompunk.panpunk world of the 1950s/60s, Skype is a pseudo-magazine print ad with all the space-age imagery and nuclear family values, including the trusty dog!  It looks every bit like the Jetsons’ predictions of visiphones!  The coloring and imperfections of original ads of the era add to the realism.

1024 Bound by Syd Mead

Just one of the classics from one of the Panpunk futurist masters.  Hi-tech but elegant.

Thundera Travel Poster

Panpunk art with its characteristic traits of bold, flat, borderless shapes in complimentary colors, the absence of black, and striking, wildly-shaped character designs.  This 1960s-esque poster invites the offworld traveller to a land from 1980s sci-fi/fantasy, Thundercats’ setting of Thundera.
