I also have to wonder why they don't offer prints of posters of his images. I'm fortunate to have a copy of a poster size book called "Syd Mead: Techno Fantasy Art" that I think was issued in the 70's, and his work looks great printed at a large scale.

It's so important to reach the new demographic out there. It’s really a shame to see Mead’s lack of interest in using the internet to promote his work.

He seems to be very business savvy, yet he neglets to make himself more visible on the net. I guess he sees no reason to do that and relies exclusively on his fame and extensive network of contacts. A pity for the new generation of designers/artist's as his work is among the best of the best. You are right on with the lack of Mead’s art on the net and especially on his own site.
