The high resolution illustrations that I create for these posters (and for my archival prints) have always been the cornerstone - well, for me, anyhow - of my online ventures.

Along the way I've done a lot of other things and some of those - especially my Retropolis Transit Authority T-shirts - have become so popular that they've eclipsed these pictures. But they're still what it's all about, if you ask me.

So in the middle of whatever else I work on during the year I make some time - a lot of time, I guess - to go pretty deep into my Future That Never Was, and create a big, ambitious image that I hope looks more like a traditional illustration than like a 3D rendering.

My 3D tools are just a means to create that illusion of a detailed traditional illustration. I've never wanted to be a camera.
