Space Oddity

Check out this work by Andrew Kolb. He’s done some speculative illustration work imagining David Bowie’s Space Oddity as a children’s book. They’re quite charming and would fit well in a little golden...

The Cut-up revisited

One of my favorite is his Inapropriate Golden Books – a play on the Little Golden Books published for children, but with a mash-up of inappropriately non-kid-friendly movie material mixed in for good measure. Unfortunately his blog...

About Me

Hi, I'm Raj Patel. Nice to meet you. I'm a writer, photographer, film producer, avid reader, gamer, architect, programmer, artist, community manager, and general nerd.

Here at Ohmpage I try to cover the news and trends at the intersection between technology and culture. In practice this means you get a lot of high-tech, new-media, type of fun stuff (the stuff that interests me) presented to you. I surf hard so you don't have to.

If you would like to contact me, please feel free to email me or follow me on twitter. I'm always happy to talk.
