Featuring old Swedish cars.
Very interesting. Definitely not the gritty urban landscape that I normally expect when I hear "cyberpunk"....lots of open spaces, people walking around outdoors, and even agriculture
You're right, Joey. Maybe I'm using 'cyberpunk' erroneously. There's not much of a dystopian vibe here, really.
Yeah it's sci-fi and very cool but not cyberpunk. If anything it's a bit utopian.
Yeah Jurassic Park-style problems are still utopian
In reply to SyntheticBlinkerFluid: I was gonna say, somebody's a fan of Syd Mead. Which is a very, very good thing.

Good call on Syd Mead. I'm also getting a big dose of post-apocalyptic, 2nd generation Robotech in there, too.
His aesthetic is incredible. I LOVE the aesthetic of super-futuristic mecha in a state if decay. He conceived these machines and then weathered them--too cool.
I also like that there's a "day in the life" vibe to it. I kinda get that vibe when I see wind turbines in a rural setting now.
Great post, Luke.
You know what the best part about these pictures are?
It makes you question what is or what was. Like I said its like Syd Mead meets early 80's Sweden. So it's modern, yet futuristic at the same time. I like wondering sometimes.
I hope the artist makes more.

I dunno. I get a really ominous vibe from all of it--and that's a good thing.
Looking at it again, it is just brilliant.
Pretty Cool, I've always been partial to Daniel Simon's work, but seeing these that put a whole scene together is almost more impressive. And the swedish steel is cool too.

Is there a way to read the descriptions of these vehicles in English rather than (what I think is) Latin???
AWESOME designs. God, this dude is a real visionary. Futurism is fascinating stuff.

Wow, they are in Latin, didn't even notice that! Crazy. Dude has a very impressive resume.
