This rather surprised me, given there's any seriousness, here:

Wonderful stuff, patrick! Reminds me both of Syd Mead (one of my favorites) and some of the work for the EON Challenge. Hm--I wonder if cars will decant their passengers and let them sit in a carafe for a while before they go shopping?

Mead is actually better than what I linked - though I prefer Donato. His stuff is quite refined. It has its own distinct physical essence, actually much like the textures of my own dreams, a rare real-ness that is relegated to the most killer illustrators.

Another is Jim Burns, particularly his British edition covers for Peter f. Hamilton.

I like Luigi Coloni as well--great airliner designs. Not sure if he has a web presence. Jim Burns of course has illustrated some of my best covers, too.

Mm. Nothing comprehensive easily found on Coloni. No pictures, and no personal website. What's more is there are links with different spellings - Coloni/Colani.

Pardon. That should be Colani, of course. There's a piece in Wikipedia about him, and other sites.
