Everything about the elements he designs for an illustration has meaning, thought and reason. there is no style without purpose. I've talked to him a couple of times about some paintings and he is so quick to explain a design and his thought process behind it- even pieces that were created more than forty years ago. Building upon this of course is his artistic talent and all of the logic behind the lighting, composition, and color. Many entertainment designers have tremendous artistic talent, but none can match the combination of technical expertise and artistic skill that Syd has.
