Syd Mead 1933-2019

Futurist Syd Mead passed away on Dec 30, 2019. His designs shaped the look for Blade Runner (among many other films). He lived to see many of his visual concepts cross over into reality. The new Tesla pick-up truck design was influenced by his work.

So many artists shared links and tributes to him.

Here are some sample images and the links:
