"Invasive species" inspecting the Ice Cream-truck.
Simon Stålenhag is best known for his robot art, foremost in a fictive Sweden of the 1980s. As seen he has also entertained the notion of dinosaurs returning to recent time.

Is the guy in #6 walking Trex and a casuary? I bet you can hear is brass balls clinking from a mile away
Raydeeo
Now they just add dinosaurs to generation zero and we have ourselves a winter!

#6 is wildly unrealistic. That kid is dead meat. Heck, the T-rex might hurt him, too

Hjem is!

Dinotopia, but in the modern age? That last pic, at least.

Is this the new new Jurassic Park?
D4rkmatter
Yes
PhailRaptor
Take note of the Cassowary in the last one, for scale
KaptenN
Sci-fi, dinosaurs and 1970's Sweden. (Except for that last one...)
nemet
That Cassowary in 6 is the scariest thing in this post.

GLASSBILEN!!

Generation Zero with dinos instead of robots? I’d play that in a second.
CiLisci
Why is that absolute mad man standing so close to a casowary with his pet？
JustBoone
Gaddamn velociraptors eating all mah goats!

Now I want a show with dinosaurs running around but they're no more a nuisance then a fox. People running off T-Rexes and other dinos.
Emulen
It is said they cant have any pudding if they dont eat their goats

I saw the ice cream truck and I instantly knew it was a swedish artist.
BicycleRepairWoman
Could have been Danish though. Probably also Norwegian. I don't know how they do their ice cream trucks.

Looking forward to it, I just hope it succeeds. Looks to be Amazon's answer to Stranger Things, I just hope it translates well.

Ooh nice. I hope it turns out well.

Guaranteed to be cheesy as shit if USA

Yeah, it would be cool if some dinosaurs were around today. But I’ve also seen Jurassic park, so screw that!
Keairan
You go look outside, and you're likely to see a few dinosaurs. You may have had one crap on you, to boot.

I think you know what I mean

I spent time in Finland during the 80s and his art has always resonated deeply with me. It's like liminal spaces taken to the Nordic extreme
KaptenN
Many of this artist's paintings are themed after Sweden in the 1970-80's.
KotimainenKayttajanimi
We actually had those exact ice cream trucks in Finland as seen in #1. Up until a few years ago when they changed the design.
graehall
Nice! It's good to know I'm not crazy. Cause his art hits this strange space in my childhood during my time spent there.
KotimainenKayttajanimi
I was wrong. It's not exactly the same but it's clearly representing the same ones. Color and logo is pretty close. Link to the jingle below

It's a Hemglass (home icecream) car. it looks exactly like the swedish icecream car.
KotimainenKayttajanimi
In Finland it's Kotijäätelö (also translates to 'home ice cream'). I guess the same franchise operates in both countries.
