The first one looks vaguely familiar; the second does not. They might be in the Omnipresence in Wired artbook (or in the reprint), though. Gimme a bit to search...

Aaand... nope. Neither of them in either book.

The internet never ceases to surprise me. Maybe those are from Visual Experiments Lain, but the only person who has that (that I know of) is Novastar, and Nova's not been about lately. I think. At least he's awfully quiet.

Yeah, it'd be nice if we could get some better-quality versions of those.

yeah i doublechecked the ABe artbook and can confirmm Bagles said.

im really interested in the photo to the left..

Here you go guys, sorry i haven't been around lately. Been enormously busy working full time and going to school full time.. was also recovering from surgery for awhile.

Found this image during my random hunts awhile back.. the filename is ab107j.jpg .. which leads me to believe it's an early beta pic before lain was boardcast from abe's online gallery and was taken down later.

Missing her asymmetry, I see.

speaking of hard to find, did the fansites ever finish translating the lain book (not art, but actual stories?)
