i like them.he/she is a very good artist.good imagination too (would love to have a mech of my own 🙂
'Neoretrofutureism' Now there's a niche school of art! 😀
Class. Liking that very much
super cool.
I don't often say this about art but they are bloody brilliant. I really like the style of them. Now I wonder how much a print would be and if there is any way I can convince Mrs_Ache to let me put one up.
I love it, think I need a few pieces on my wall.
Like this. Reminds me of the designs and situations in Half-Life 2. Some of the paintings are signed with a date of 2012.
great stuff
Dystopian Roger Dean...
Sort of steampunky.
Only with Swedes in flares and anoraks rather than young Victorian ladies in revealing corsets.
I like that, cheers for sharing 😀
They are good. Like the juxtaposition between the older Swedish cars and the futuristic working machines.
*runs behind the sofa*
I like those a lot. Cheers.
Stoner - tops marks for the Friday Street pic.
Flicking through the site not logged in.
Just HAD to comment - these are ****ing amazing - the style, the content - everything!
A very clever person indeed.
cheers, glenp, I think? What's a "Friday Street pic"?
Those prints dont seem too expensive, do they? ..... 😉
Awesome!
Ditch the dinos though.
Thanks Stoner - fantastic link
Technically, very good. I like the way he paints people (cars too), but the subject matter doesn't do anything for me. Like book covers for Philip K Dick books.
Reminds me (a lot) of the [url= http://theblurlifestyle.blogspot.ie/2012/01/retro-future-art-of-syd-mead.html?m=1 ]Syd Mead[/url] books I had as a kid. Also makes me wonder where they went to as they're prob worth a few bob now. Also makes me wish I hadn't sold my yellow Mercedes T1.
nice
Great find. Can't find much info about the artist though, when were these painted?
[edit]there's an "About Me" section on his website... Any more info?
I much prefer the ones that only hint of something - ones where you have to fill in the gaps. I don't like the ones with actual robots/dinos/etc.
I like that, makes me want to know more about the subject in the picture
