My friend described it as "retrofuture". Some beautiful stuff and I could see using some of these ideas in rover designs. Examples:

Those painting / scetches are indead awesome..

Some really nice ones on that website of his..

I really like this one for some odd reason

It just looks normal, till you give it a closer look

Really well done work.

The thing that makes it look normal is his understanding and ability of perspective, it's perfect. Nothing stands out because it looks like it's in the wrong frame/focus. It's actually pretty amazing.

It looks like Combine technology - creepy..

His sketchbook has some more nice images of roving vehicles.

It's not retrofuturistic. It's just imaginary technology.

Jetsons are retrofuturistic. Seattle needle, too. There's lots of material about it online.

Oh, my! This is so beautiful.

Too cool. Reminds one of Syd Mead's work....
