Retro future treasure trove

(Via BoingBoing)

A blogger has gone to the trouble of collecting a massive quantity of awesome retro future art from all over the world, some of which is quite stunning.

Awesome Moonbase

Space Station

Space Fighter

I love stuff like this because you can see so many influences in reverse. Everything from the fighters in the later Star Wars movies to the Gargantua I space station in season one of The Venture Brothers seems to be represented in this set. I’m wondering (probably along with a lot of other people who read BoingBoing on a regular basis) if there will soon be a whole online museum of this kind of stuff along the lines of Plan59 (a treasure trove of 1950s-oriented pop art where a good chunk of this stuff originated from).
