Synopsis

Studio Image 1 sketch book was the first in the RGB collection from the late world-renowned artist/visual futurist, Syd Mead.

From preliminary concept sketches to brilliantly colored illustrations, Studio Image 1 takes viewers step by step through the creative process from the artist's point of view. Artwork ranges from a futuristic nightclub that was built in Tokyo to sports cars, "Minolta Marina", and a lavish proposal for "Houston Center".

Studio Image 1 describes in detailed pictures the process of creating animals and creatures in future environments as well as many workups for the television series "L.A. 2015".

Other color illustrations describe a "Race in Spaceball" and "Voyage to the City". Also included in Studio Image 1 are the workups for Syd Mead's limited edition lithograph "The Running of the Six Drgxx".

This reissue of the lavish 16.5" x 11.75", 32-page book with 38 pieces of artwork is a must-have for anyone who has ever had an interest in the future as Syd Mead's visions continue to be futurist decades after his artwork.
