	Ray Bradbury \| Books
		THE ILLUSTRATED MAN is classic Bradbury --a collection of tales that breathe and move, animated by sharp, intaken breath and flexing muscle.
		Ray Bradbury's THE ILLUSTRATED MAN is a kaleidoscopic blending of magic, imagination, and truth, widely believed to be one of the Grandmaster's premier accomplishments: as exhilarating as interplanetary travel, as maddening as a walk in a million-year rain, and as comforting as simple, familiar rituals on the last night of the world.
		It was a warm afternoon in early September when I first met the Illustrated Man. Walking along an asphalt road, I was on the final long of a two weeks' walking tour of Wisconsin.

	Review -- The Illustrated Man
		The Illustrated Man is a collection of eighteen of Bradbury's short stories, very loosely held together by being supposed illustrations on a man the author met.
		Man seems to much more apt to regress to a blasé mean than he is to go to an unrecoverable extreme--the more severe the problem, the more the rest of the population is likely to try to fix it.
		Yes, life has its pain and disappointments, and the occasional tragedy is a poignant illustration, but when 60% of the stories involve someone dying and only 18% are at all optimistic, well, people generally seem to like sunny climates better than ones where it rains all the time.

	The Illustrated Man > Review
		The Illustrated Man is one of the classic landmarks in science fiction/horror literature, and one of Ray Bradbury’s greatest works.
		The film takes three of the stories, and expands the narration that ties them together, bringing the focus more upon the illustrated man rather than the stories he tells and is a part of.
		As a film, The Illustrated Man is very much a product of the times it was made, much in the same way that the book was a product of its time.

	Jerry GOLDSMITH - The Illustrated Man: Film Music on the Web CD Reviews December 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The Illustrated Man (released 1969, music scored summer 1968) is one of those films which are ingenious in conception but less successful in execution.
		The Illustrated Man was Goldsmith's first fantasy/SF score since Planet of the Apes (1968), though he had scored radio adaptations of Bradbury stories in the 1950's; "Season of Disbelief" and "Hail and Farewell" (both 1956).
		He employed some of the same serial techniques he used for Apes, though overall The Illustrated Man is a broader ranging score, also utilising a lovely folk-like melody with wordless female vocals and atonal electronics with a sound which may be familiar from the more popular SF adventure Logan's Run (1976).

	The Illustrated Man
		She works her magic with her needles and die using Carl's body for a canvas to create illustrations that come to life if the viewer stares at the m for too long.
		Carl borders on madness because of the experience (he says he can feel them crawl on his skin literally itching to tell a story I suppose)and because he's now an outcast is trying to find Felicia so he can kill her.
		Carl unfolds his story about becoming an illustrated man and Willie finds himself drawn into three of the "tattoos" that ensnare him in their stories.

	RAY BRADBURY'S THE ILLUSTRATED MAN - DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Coupled with Steiger's obnoxious persona and Drivas' blankness, The Illustrated Man is largely a hole in the screen that turns Ray Bradbury's gripping anthology of the same name into something sluggish and unpleasant to behold.
		The whole "illustrated man" conceit--that is, Carl's tattooed body facilitating glimpses into the future--was merely the connective tissue for Bradbury's allegorical tales, making its elevation to the centre of the narrative a little disconcerting.
		Even at that, The Illustrated Man's major misstep is fixating on the framing device, which also encompasses the flashbacks to Carl's tattoo sessions with Felicia.

	Subtraction: The Illustrated Man’s Blog
		Instead, I have another solution: with this post, I’m introducing illustrations for each of the past six months of my archives created by an esteemed colleague, and going forward, I’ll be posting a new illustration after the close of each month.
		As each illustration rolled in, I felt a bit like a kid on Christmas morning; I was completely delighted by the variety of expressions that these folks produced, and it just felt good to be looking at entertaining pictures.
		Grainne Finn is an Irish illustrator who I feel has a unique talent, you should contact her.

	DVD Review: The Illustrated Man - DVD
		The Illustrated Man the film does not capture that “October lightning in a bottle” that is Ray Bradbury, but it is an interesting (but flawed) attempt.
		The bookend device of the “illustrated man” is only a short portion of the book and not used for the larger framing device that the movie makes it out to be.
		The Illustrated Man is presented in anamorphic widescreen (2.35:1) and enhanced for 16x9 televisions.

	The Illustrated Man (1968)
		As he settles down for the night in the open, he comes across Carl, a strange and brooding man, who is wearing an overcoat and gloves despite the heat.
		The man opens his coat to reveal that he has tattoos or, as he prefers to call them, 'skin illustrations', from head to foot.
		The idea of the illustrated man was a fairly slim concept in the book - the framing device takes up less than two pages - and it has been considerably embellished here.

	THE ILLUSTRATED MAN Sunday Herald, The - Find Articles
		For most of the Fifties, Andy Warhol worked as a commercial illustrator in New York, developing a unique style which made him much in demand and which came to define the printed aesthetic of that decade almost as much as Pop Art would define the one that followed.
		The book serves as a pictorial survey of Warhol's career, from his first commercial illustrations to final works such as a 1986 series of screenprints based on da Vinci's painting of the Last Supper, a return to the staunch Catholicism of a childhood spent among a family of devout Slovakian refugees.
		Throughout the Fifties, however, he produced a series of shoe illustrations rendered in ink and embossed with gold leaf, a favourite material.

		That The Illustrated Man has remained in print since being published in 1951 is fair testimony to the universal appeal of Ray Bradbury's work.
		What's even more remarkable, and increasingly disturbing, is that the illustrations are themselves magically alive, and each proceeds to unfold its own story, such as "The Veldt," wherein rowdy children take a game of virtual reality way over the edge.
		The theme is The Illustrated Man. I agree with many other persons that it is important to realize he is illustrated, not tattooed.

	Ray Bradbury, The Illustrated Man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The Illustrated Man was published more than half a century ago and helped cement Ray Bradbury's reputation as one of the most original voices in science fiction.
		What did impress me in this rereading of The Illustrated Man was Bradbury's lyrical sense, his need to have the rhythm of the story, the texture of the words, play such a large role in his tales.
		This is a book lodged firmly in the middle of the last century and, as I discovered, the dawn of the 1950s isn't a particularly comprehensible time to a kid born in the 1990s.

	Bradbury, Ray The Illustrated Man
		The framing story is of a tattooed man whom the narrator meets, and whose tattoos foretell the future.
		The Illustrated Man is a wonderful, scary, awful thrill ride through the future, with our tour guide always happy to show us the darkness that we humans bring to even the brightest of possibilities.
		The Illustrated Man was first published in 1951, so this is Bradbury the Grand Master of Science Fiction.

		Illustrated Man earned Berge a Norwegian Grammy earlier this year, and the release has picked up favourable reviews in Denmark.

	dOc DVD Review: The Illustrated Man (1969)
		The Illustrated Man is probably only remembered for the title body art, which is kind of neat—though the images look like they were taken from concert posters for bands playing Woodstock.
		As a movie, it isn't worth your time, even for fans of the author, who is reported to have thought it the worst cinematic adaptation of his work.
		Serious to the point of camp but not nearly interesting enough to serve as a guilty pleasure, The Illustrated Man strives to be a sci-fi message movie but falls seriously short.

	Bjorn Berge Album Reviews
		When both his parents died from the consequences of cholera, the 12 year-old and his siblings were forced to look out for themselves, and that's how the kid wound up in a car factory, working double shifts, but stubbornly practising on his battered, second hand acoustic guitar which he'd bought for five dollars.
		His attack is extremely powerful for a blues man and the result of a style that has him stomping his foot, strumming a bass line with his thumb (and a pick), playing the melodies with his other fingers and use a slide to give the sound even more muscle.
		The result is a raggedy sound and in-your-face style that seems to combine the feverish swamp funk of Tony Joe White, the virtuosity of Leo Kottke and the powerful Delta blues of Skip James, with Berge's gruff baritone giving the music an extra dirty dimension.
