BoingBoing Gadgets has a nice informal chat with concept artist and designer, Syd Mead, whose work on Blade Runner may be the most convincing and enduring sci-fi art ever translated to film.
Of course, Mead is rather humble about the whole thing: “I wasn’t in the movie business and I didn’t particularly care, I was just doing a design job.”
