Patrick Nagel Illustrates an ad for Intel Military Hardware, 1979

Completely mystifying. Patrick Nagel did a bunch of original illustrations for Intel ads in the 1980’s and they’re all deeply confusing artifacts, but this one, in an ad for MILITARY SPEC HARDWARE is the most uncanny. This wasn’t a one-off! It was an illustration created for purpose! Part of a long series of Intel/Nagel collaboration! I can’t even.
