Similar to the

Influential Artists Thread, I was wondering what (Mad) Scientists you think were especially influential on your fiction/comics/other art creations. How did they influence you?]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=506&Focus=12219#Comment_12219 2008-01-14T12:59:44-08:00 2013-06-19T04:18:54-07:00 ChuckEye http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1736

Somewhere along the way I managed to pick up a leather-bound collection of all of Nicola Tesla's U.S. patents. I'll likely be incorporating it in a few genre photo shoots soon...

What ChuckEye said, with a little more amplification. TESLA.

The best mad scientist at all , in my opinion: Athanasius Kircher, the baroque jesuit who write (and engrave) books about Noah Ark (scientifically speaking) and Visual Effects/Illusions and Magnetism ...

Werner Von Braun, father of the US space program, could have sent a man to Mars by 1980 if Nixon hadn't pulled the funding. Too bad about the whole Nazi war criminal thing.

The FBI Project Artichoke scientist who gave a convict LSD and a bunch of painkillers and asked him to describe what he saw and experienced as they cut the top off his skull and surgically removed ...

That's some shit right there.

And then there was this guy.
