Description
"FIFTIES FUTURE"Oil Painting - 48" x 48" - #5 in a Series of 7
The idea of having pollution-free driving high above the landscape in hydrogen powered hover-cars is a reality in "Fifties Future" It's an idealized glimpse into what the people in the 1950's may have envisioned.
"TODAY'S REALITY IS THE STUFF OF YESTERDAY'S DREAMS"
Some Insightful Information to think about:
the rest in this series of Oil paintings are here:
#1 MUSCLE 4 SALE
#2 SALAD BAR
#3 TOYING AROUND
#4 EVERYBODIES BEAUTIFUL
#5 FIFTIES FUTURE
#6 When SuperModels Ruled the World - skipped 4 now, because I wanted to do #7
#7 IT'S A DOG'S WORLD
. . "FIFTIES FUTURE" . .
**March 31st 2008 edit: I just found out Fifties Future was accepted into the
"Spectrum 15" Annual Book - The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art www.spectrumfantasticart.com/eā¦

What's even funnier is that, I think it was last year, Discovery Channel had a special on projected technologies for 50 years in the future from 2007. And one of those was, yup, flying cars. So in 2057 we will all be flying around in hover bumper cars.

Wonderful work!
I like how you made the space cars look like 1950's cars.

Edward Hopper meets the Jetsons, sweet. Yeah, that was how the year 2000 was suppose to look like, but it didn't. I mean though half the stuff we have, no one thought we would every get.

thanks Patrick, Yeah - even some of the main clothing design Patterns (back then) were Polka dots, stripes and leopard skin, so I had to include those too.

Really nice image. You really captured the painting style of the 50's.

Thanks Man, U wouldn't believe all of the research involved in this project. ie: hairstyles, clothing, cars/concept cars from the fifties (which I converted into Hover-Cars) and what was "IN" at that time -- Loads of Fun !
