OK, so maybe the title is a little contrived. But the image itself is a great combination of old and new which oddly works out to look like a 1960's science fiction pulp cover. And given my penchance for pulp novels and all they contain, this is a great thing in my book.
As for more information regarding the image or the designer, Ben Pieratt, I redirect you to the original posting at Kitsune Noir:
