Individual artists

sydmead.com
The one illustrator/designer who should receive a Nobel for coolness. Syd mead has great sense for aesthetics and wild concepts. He has worked for concepts in Blade Runner, Aliens and also for numerous big companies. This site is not very big and the pictures are not very large. Still I recommend a visit (and buying some books).
