While concepts–a practice in the design
world that often leaves most people scratching their heads in
puzzlement–are usually hit and miss, there are a few that really inspire
closer scrutiny.
Enter Michel Jelinek, a Czech designer who likes his machines
futuristic in the vein of Sid Mead. We couldn’t help NOT name dropping
the guy who did illustrations for Blade Runner since he practically
elevated the whole staid medium of designing sci-fi movies from lowbrow
swill to breathtaking scale.
By clicking on the source link below you can view a gallery of
Michel’s work. The man has a powerful affinity for machines,
illustrations of which he renders with digital technology. The
interesting twist is he makes the viewer feel as if he were painting
with oils like designers of yore (in the 70s).
His latest stuff are also fixated on off road rides and what’s seen
above is a cross-country snowmobile (?). For some reason, people who
look at it will have an urge to construe where the laser guns are. None
of that, however, as Michel seems to be in love with contoured machines
whose very complexity makes them attractive.
