Awesome book! [Posted on 2008-08-14]
The book is amazing and Daniel Simon is a fantastic artist. The images are very impressive and the details are unbelievable. If you are a designer or something about or simple like this stuff you need to buy this book, very recomended.
Glossy Vehicles and Tight Sketches [Posted on 2008-09-04]
Cosmic Motors offers a new perspective on futuristic racing machines by blending the form factors of things like WWII bombers and F1 racers with Simon's creativity to bring you some of the slickest vehicles around. Daniel Simon also provides a context for his vehicles with dashes of story throughout the book. The book contains several pages of tightly rendered sepia sketches as well as many extremely crisp 3D renderings that show off some seriously insane attention to detail. A lot of the 3D renders contain composited pilots or sexy babes posing by the vehicles to show off scale and maybe a little leg.
Overall the book is a nice addition to any concept-book lover's library. I only have two little complaints about this book: 1. I wish there were more loose sketches to paw through and 2. sometimes the composited pilots are so "earth-like" that they contrast oddly against the futuristic vehicles from another galaxy, but that contrast may have been intended.
High Quality / High Speed Dreams [Posted on 2008-09-11]
It's an amazing blend of Concept Design and (realistic)Vehicle Design. Every item has a (hi)story, a unique character accompanied with realistic renderings, which make you believe those vehicles are real. You can also witness the process of Daniel Simon's concepts through neat sketches. This book, like other Design Studio Press books, won't let you down, in addition it will give you more of what you expect/imagine.
Great book! [Posted on 2008-09-29]

Never saw this item [Posted on 2008-10-04]
I ordered this item, says sent by USPS - USPS says they attempted delivery and left a notice to redeliver. USPS did NO leave such a notice, and there is no record beyond that. I was ripped off the cost of the book and shipping. I will never order a book from this publisher or any other publisher who uses USPS again.
