Technically speaking, John's work has a precision to detail that is unmatched. His use of form language to build shapes and surfaces with new and interesting intersections is so fun to look at and explore. Furthermore, today we take for granted knowing how to render and draw by hand. For example, knowing how to render a surface that is metallic versus matte with marker and pen. Using 3d tools, we just drag and drop with ease. In this book you'll find techniques for rendering surface materials, perspective, and design methodology. Tools that will better you in expressing your ideas and visions. From a design standpoint, John has always had a 'personal look' to his work, something that is hard to come by today. In a world where so much art and design has a homogenized style and feel, John's work sets itself apart. I always know it's his hand when I see his work. I feel like it's perhaps a reflection of his personality, or to go even further, a reflection of his inner thoughts and dreams. In this book, you'll find not only cool looking vehicles of all sorts, you'll discover the inner workings of a designer's brain at work, transcribed from thoughts and dreams. Ultimately, you'll have a better understating of how it's all done. - James Clyne, VFX Art Director/Production Designer
