ABOUT THIS VIDEO:

Those paintings+this music=another dimension
great job for these 5 clips
and very apropriate choice for the music
these books made me open up my mind to creativity, imagination and science fiction. when I was hurting and lonely, I turned to these worlds, these ideas of the future. I dreamed of the stars that maybe I would travel to or see, one day. So early on, I enjoyed Star Trek and read old good science fiction books by A.E. Van voight and Bradbury and Simak and others. I read comic books and played D&D fantasy games. If I could have gone back in a time machine, I would have entered the Air Force. But too late now.
Thank for sharing, a lot of what you say resonates with me....
I was just thinking of these books and magazines I used to own as a kid. Thanks so much for posting these videos. Really took me back to those fun memories of the great science fiction artists . Tangerine Dream is perfect as well. Fantastic work.
This art was back in a time when we all “looked up” and looked forward and progressing was the most important thing in art/music/ cinema/etc...Now, art of this impact is hanging by a thread as we are all made slaves of consumerism, constantly looking down at peripheral diversionary technological gadgets made to appease our egos, start wars with poor people, and walk around in a state of near rage and violence at the drop of a hat.……Bit the truth is is that there are many still trying to continue in the spirit of art and ideas like those pictured here. You gotta find em though. And means truly looking.
well said, Mind Mesh...welll said. I think that we thought we were doing great in this new age, BUT WE ARE WRONG. We are different kinds of slaves. Consumerism, high taxes, high tech gadgets THAT ARE ONLY FOR distraction and entertainment, not practical things. the separation of the rich and the poor (almost no middle class ) and the anger and hate. Most people don't have the same kind of bright hope they used to be. People had hope that one day, we would have a base on the moon, that we too, could be in space. But no... we can dream as the song says in LES MISERABLES. See , ART LIKE THIS was SUPPOSED to make us think, to reach of inspiration and practice our creativity and plan for the future.
thats why when Star Wars first came out, it was such a big deal. For me, seeing the various planets of those worlds....that was DOPE.
thanks... thanks for all of it....
Reminds me of a quote, our current civilization is still nowhere near what these concepts dreamt of over 60 years ago.
“Old Earthers had focused their intelligence on the small and the soft, not the big and the hard, and built a civilization that was puny and crumbling where physical infrastructure was concerned, but astonishingly sophisticated when it came to networked communications and software.”
― Neal Stephenson, Seveneves
Thanks for these videos. They capture the essence of science fiction.
2:42 to 2:50 are my favorites because they represent the foundation series. Specifically TranTor ( the administrative center of the Galaxy from Alien landscapes.
Omni magazine had lots of this artwork.
fredflinston41 Remember Starlog magazine ?
Foss !!
I'm watching this on psilocybin. Stunning. Beautiful.
It just cam to me we used to be able to buy the posters at stores. It was such a great experience. It was sooo long ago.
Man I love this. Need to watch this at least once a month! And Tangerine Dream Music no comment.
Lots of images from a book I owned when I was a child, can't remember the name... just amazing, part of what made me so curious as an adult.
+Tentacles Many of these illustrations are from The Terran Trade Authority Handbook series by Stewart Cowley: 4 books "Spacecraft 2000 to 2100 AD", "Starliners", "Spacewreck", "Great Space Battles". The most famous book of the four was "Spacecraft 2000 to 2100 AD" which I also had when I was a child and still fascinates me. Google them. (Btw you can find copies on Amazon or if you look hard you can find PDF versions of the books. :) U R Welcome
G. dR Thanks a lot mate, is was indeed Spacecraft 2000 to 2100 AD
+Tentacles I just found someone who has animated many of the illustrations of Spacecraft 2000 to 2100 Ad vimeo.com/29549708
Glad I could help. Cheers
Same man. They shaped my mind. I'm an inquisitive S.O.B and can't see any sign of slowing down.
Other good books: Terran Trade Authority books.
There is nothing better than pulp science fiction amiright?
@5:10 Looks like R2D2 got a little carried away lol
One of the artists used to do album covers and such probably around in 1974-1975 on. I used to be totally consumed by his work then it disappeared.
If it was Mal Dean then I'm afraid he died young. I also remember Bruce Pennington did quite a few.
I am kinda hypnotized by watching these vids.And I am also inspired to do some artwork.Been creating a sci/fi concept,a Universe with everything in it for the last few years,and these 5 vids,helps me boost my imagination.Awesome vids man,thanks alot.Appreciate it;)
My 3 favorite art books are:
- The Art of Rowena by Rowena Morrill
- Icon by Frank Frazetta
- Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson
Yes yes yes
💓
The *Terran Trade Authority* ...words to conjure with as a boy of ten. Over four decades on, and I still can't help but wonder if Henri DeVass will perfect his warp field generator on schedule four years from now. 👽 😄
Yes! I still them on my bookshelf. I envy anyone discovering them for the first time....
@@xxnightopsxx
As do I...in both regards. 🤓
A truly mesmerizing set of futurist imagery here. Reminds me what striking vision Sci Fi artists of the past had when we all thought the future was just around the corner, the future that never came...The future that never will...I'll keep waiting. Meantime, where can we find prints of some of this wonderful artwork? I can't find on Amazon or other sources on the net. Artist names associated with each work would help, thank you!
your comment is right on, danstan. I wish these visions had came to pass. But alas, the culture and the military and government is intent on hoarding these new hi tech gadgets and inventions for themselves and the CIA. they use it to control us, not to share with us to better our society. Such is man's greed, that he keeps power among his high circle friends and the rich only. Sad.
Where to start, Angus Mckie, Peter Elson, Chris Foss, Jim Burns, John Berkey, etc. etc. I do know that some of them have websites where you can buy prints from. Just search for 60s, 70s, 80s scifi art on Google and Google images. There's a lot on Tumblr as well....
Great videos. Thank you for this.
amazing set of docus..great artwork...
Yes, thank you : )
i love this stuff
this is the stuff that made me w to become artist
Im not a big fan of Sci-Fi but I am a fan of art and this is Sci-Fi art at its best.

"derr I'm not a fan of sci fi derr but I'm a fan of sci fi art derr." 😆
@Levi French no, I'm so depressed 😄😆
@@scottimo3671 derr...? You need medical attention.
watching this was like a sequel to the movie 2001 !
Great videos all, excellent work! Thanks for making this! Any chance of getting a list of images used, along with author names and descriptions? :)
Cheers!
Some of the ships make me feel uneasy. Im not really sure why.
Probably the alien design, plus the music.
Pretty much, case in point, 3:33 looks like something people could probably construct within the next couple centuries, whereas something like 2:07 just seems so far off and alien.
damn i wat these books
lol 4:20
Canada?
Great artwork though
This is basically like the history of star wars empire
Would like to hire a sci fi illustrator.
2:43 - the 2214 Z-28 Camaro... where can I view these images? Lovely presentation but Im getting dizzy with all the 'Ken Burns' panning effects...
We are but a bunch of know nothing knuckle dragging neanderthals on a ball of dirt in the middle of nowhere...but for these images we see what is, has, and will be.
If it wasn't for our recent history (400 years of 'dark ages') and trillions lost on wars, religion et al we would be exploring the galaxy by now...
Actually no we wouldn't be. The distances are IMPOSSIBLE. And the effects of zero g and radiation on the body make even a trip to mars a one way/ suicide mission.the trillions spent on "our "defense" were and are wasted though.
Pimp Space Ship @ 2:00
La 1° imagen esta buena pero me gusta mas la mujer.
Terriffic video and art work. When I was a student of the art instruction school back in the early nineties, I was sent a magazine from the school called " The Illustrator ". I recognized the same artwork from the magazine that are in this video.
A hint to the fellows watching this: take off the audio of this useless frightening music and watch the pics while listening to some good old rock and roll music. Much better !!!
Tangerine dream not to your liking? Choose what you want, I just happened to think it worked well given the themes and vintage of the artworks. Rock would make it a bit Dark Starrish IMO. Some Creedance, Led Zep and Pink Floyd perhaps....
