From the Office of Oceanic Affairs
As a product of our times I straddle the fence between both needing and hating that I need oil based energy. All that aside, I can appreciate the engineering marvels and utilitarian beauty of these mega structures.
I pulled these images from a fascinating thread on twitter sharing a ton of images of oil rig structures I'd never seen before.
The thread stuck a lively and mostly civil discussion about what is beautiful and whether or not something can be beautiful in spite of its function.
I'll leave that debate to others, for now I'm just so caught up with their designs and how I can apply that to the comics I'm creating.
