Two samples from Japanese Airbrush Illustrator Shusei Nagaoka, these gorgeous Tron-Esque hand rendering’s dating from 1984, kinda reminds me of the Cray Super Computer work used in The Last Starfighter. Shusei Nagaoka was most prolific during the 70’s and 80’s producing a variety of work but he’s is probably best known for LP cover’s which included: ELO “Out of the Blue” & Earth, Wind & Fire: “I Am”
Art is taken from a large Hires selection of Shusei’s work over at the always excellent pinktentacle.com see the full article here: http://ow.ly/CSEE

Cheers for the lead on this Dan!
Amazing works. I still remember his covers from when I was a kid. I keep as a tresure the blue vinile lp by Space: “just blue” illustrated by him.
