Love this genre so much that we recently emulated it on What’s New page for the latest Firefox 4 Beta page. (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/4.0b1/whatsnew/). I worked with illustrator Steven Olds (http://www.ba-reps.com/artists/steven-olds) to create a utopian space colony that will be revealed as the latest software release is being ‘constructed’. I actually contacted Syd Mead, who is remarkably still alive and working, but our budget just couldn’t touch The Man.

Great site…

Excellent find that simultaneously reminds me of The Jetsons (!!) and the current smart grid discussions on-going in the US to improve electricity and energy supply.

So inspired by the blend of those two distinct things that I shared your blog on mine: http://katiejaynenorman.blogspot.com/2010/07/jetsons.html

Thank you! Great site btw.

I think this may be early work of the artist Ron Shelley. He did amazing renderings with awesome skies. He was commissioned to do a series of renderings promoting the International Satellite Terminal at MIA in the 1970’s. I remember he was British and lived in Coconut Grove, Florida. Besides being a great artist, he also was a a darn good Shakespeare theater actor.

Wow, my grandmother had a living room lamp that resembled your first image. Really cool. I recently drove by San Onofre north of San Diego and it could use a bit of a makeover.

Dave, I only know about that collaboration because I randomly met Rudy Hermes earlier this year. He mentioned his personal Harper collection, and it included some originals, so I tactfully tried to get him to tell me more about himself. He offhandedly said that he designed Charley Harper’s house, and that they’d worked on a series of Ford Times illustrations together. I was in awe and Googled him immediately afterward. Sure enough, I found exactly what he was talking about!

Hey Tim + Eric,
I’ll put together some screensavers as soon as I get a chance.

Maya - Those illustrations are amazing!

Wow, I love this style. Would be cool when power stations nowadays would look like these.

Wow, these illustrations are unbelievable! They remind me of a collaboration for For Times magazine that the artist Charley Harper and the architect Rudy Hermes did together, showing futuristic homes as backdrops for the next year’s car models.

whoaaa this is too good to be true. If only more projects are created like this with similar art direction instead of bare bones CGI models without vitality. Really hope the artist is identified. The compositions bring each power styling to life effortlessly.
