Description
Besides my rendrosity nick 'duo', my art nick is 'INNOVARI'.
It has been with me since I've seen the works of SYD MEAD on his wonderful book Sentinel (1979).
In the book there was an illustration of a prototype car named INNOVARI designed by Mead for U.S. Steel. The quote of the artwork said:
"The 'Innovari' prototype was intended to be a catalogue of the many ways (a large proportion of them innovative) in which steel could be used to great advantage in a new era of design."
The words "new era of design" and the works of many Sci-Fi and Fantasy master illustrators drove me to do my artworks during the years.
Also the word "innovari" is important for me. Is a Latin word that mean innovation/renewal, and it really represent me and my work in the illustration field and in the 'real world'.
In time of tributes (I do many 'tribute art' during the last months), this in my tribute to the great SYD MEAD, Pope of the imaginative technological illustration.
BTW: ALL modelled in Bryce!
