They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

I really enjoyed reading Edgar Rice Burroughs stories. Not really into Tarzan, but I liked the Mars/John Carter series and Venus series....My favorite though was "At the Earth's Core" (Do NOT watch the "movie"- it is absolute crap!!!) and the first sequel, "Pellucidar"...
Anyway, lots of illustrations in the books, but there was a famous illustrator who concentrated on ERB; Frank Fazetta...Here is a couple of examples;

Princess of Mars
The Art History Archive Fantasy Art
The demand is there for an animation artist to portray Frank's women in action, R and X rated, make a few million.
A storybook writer's new meaning in life, plot lines placed in significant historical timelines, say, 15th century Romania,
or perhaps Mars in the late 19th, steampunk tripping.
 ... yes, yes, it is art.
A poster for the blockbuster movie to be made in the future, Frank Frazetta's art concepts.
:lightbulb!:

because in the future, when the universe is full of high tech flying fighting machines and the men are armored head to toe, women will be dressed like 2 bit whores flaunting their wares under a Chicago lamp post...
who the heck thinks up this **** ?

' Prohibition Perks ' by Jeffrey Sparr.
Scantily clad women of the future, when there will be no, uh, art censorship as in the past.
As in the past, the planet will be much warmer and far, far greener !
Artists thought it up, like other science fiction dreamers, futurist imagineers, planners, designers.
Those are not men, they are robots.
' Fly ? That will never fly ! '
~ The Wright Brother's neighbor, watering a cow, holding a shovel.
..
It was in the mid '60s when I first noticed Frazetta's artwork, a few movie ads.
Naturally interested in the human forms he painted, their physiques, and uh, uh, uh... shapes.
See, it is not real, is it an impressionist's depiction of the light bending, bouncing, to the viewer's eyes.
What the viewer thinks they see is determined by what they think is true, or not, the information received and processed, mentally.
Art critic courses are available at local colleges, learning what art is, paint, mediums, color, light.
All the relevant truth that Frank learned at age eight, in '36.
I am still puzzled by some art, and ideas, like, piercings and other self mutilations, makes me wonder what they think.
Must be the drugs and ignorance, right ?

MJ and Will, those illustrations are not of the future, but of "Another world" with different creatures and societies. And, Frank Frazetta added his own ideas to his art work, above and beyond ERB stories
Here is a couple of illustrations from the original book, "At The Earth's Core";
