I know that Highway. It's in the land of Photoshop. Same cars side by side, inconsistent shadow values and direction. Fun though...

That "look me in the eye" lemur thing is on drugs. Seriously. I'm going to go have to look at something else compelling now or I'll have nightmares.

  • These are all really cool... and I think some of the ideas could really become reality. Of course... we're now into an era of increased interest in public transit (which is good).

    The thing is, though, that most cities evolve organically (aside from the roads in the grid-style of North America) and therefore don't usually turn out looking uniform like in the visions. Architects don't even design their buildings to match well with neighboring buildings that are already up!

  • Another great post by this blog. I love how much original content there is, and their daily link post is always classy and interesting. The gotham-style concept art is amazing, and I can see why it was groundbreaking then. While viewing those pictures, I was reminded of the visual style of the concept art for the "People's Palaces of Socialist Bliss" that I stumbled upon a good while ago - and lo and behold, there it was, a bit further down. Thumbs up!
