I don’t know why nobody has enquired about my prints; I’ll give it another shot. To those who complain about the rarity of Syd Mead items for sale: this is your chance.

When I looked at the Amazon.com site under Syd Mead, as I do about twice a week, I noticed that they are offering a pre-order on a new book, Sentury 2. According to the comments, it’s going to cover the decade of Syd Mead’s work since his last book, Sentury.

Great book. I don’t know why they don’t reissue it and some of his others.

I have his book “Sentinel” it was published sometime in 1980-1984 time frame. It’s a large 17″ X 14″ soft cover, history of all his art up to that point. Printed in full color and visually stimulating. It’s like a large coffee table book. Sorry, it’s not for sale, although I’m sure it would command a very high price on the Web. Too bad he has not published these pictures on his web site. I too am disappointed, but I can only imagine this is because these pictures are his private domain and with the Web being so diverse these days, any attempt by him or his family to ‘Publish’ his work would lessen the impact and his ability to sell his future work. Maybe, someday he will put it all on the web, or his family might. I won’t infringe on his rights unless I was given permission. So, for the time being, we are all stuck with what is released on the various websites. Except me of course.

To all my fellow Syd Mead admirers, check out my site as I am selling off 4 of my large original Mead prints that I have double. Once gone, they won’t show up any time soon again I guess.

For those of you who are interested in Syd Mead posters, there are six available on the AWN (animation world network) website. My favorite is The 200th Running of the Kentucky Derby, but all are excellent examples of his work. I was very suprised that all six are still available. They range in price from $25.00 to $85.00 (The Derby). No, I’m not an AWN employee, just a big fan of Mead’s work. I have every one of his books plus other items (except for Kronolog, for $$$$ reasons)

Check out these posters!
