Syd Mead of our Day is like Nikola Tesla of his Day!...God Bless!...you Brothers!
There would never have been Star Wars without this guy. Thanks Syd.
I was so ecstatic when I learned that Syd was working on Brad Bird's Tomorrowland movie.
Love Syd Mead
i would so love one of syd mead's flying cars
Well, TRON, Blade Runner, and Hot Wheels can't be wrong.
I like Dyan Sublett's comment about Mead being meant for the 18th or 19th century, but being pulled forward into the 21st century -- so... does that make him Steampunk?
A lot of Mead's own personal comments about dreaming are really inspiring, too.
dont forget chip foose.
Yeah, I do dude.
There are many levels of an artist. Beginner, Advanced, Expert, Master but Syd Mead surpasses all!!
The picture at 1:00 is my favorite of all time. I'd kill for a print of that.
@arozdeleche Then I guess it's all our job to bring that future so much closer, right?
Wow, sick.
Whats the music backgrounds?? Where can I find all of his work so I can see them all???? Help me!!
He made the two best Gundams: Turn A and Turn X.

Vangelis. From Blade Runner film music I think.
Definitely! And sometimes equally in the past. We do live in slightly strange in between times, not quite going here or there, who knows. Syd does have an incredible skill like many other artists out there, giving a glimpse into their visionary thoughts. These sometimes translate into a more touchable reality via films or transport etc. but he reminds me (with his work) that when I sleep I can experience these places truly, and I am there in the future or past or wherever you prefer to call it?
Not enough models being offered for kids to build that are on SId's level. When I was a kid you could build models of birds and knights...and they had great detail. Up to you to mess them up with your amateur painting skills. And how many of us failed at installing clear plastic headlights and windows by right at the end getting glue on them from your finger? Well, that was life in the late fifties....
epic
His use of colours is one of the things that make him stand out, I think. It seems as if he gives priority to hghly saturated, bright primaries, giving his work a more exciting ambiance than a lot of designers out there.
