for pre-order. Odds are, given that it's not out til February, you won't want to pre-order the book just yet (although it's sure to be a stunning one), but you can check out the (presumably temporary) cover art above.The Art of The Croods, by Noela Hueso, with foreword by Nicolas Cage, is published by Titan Books on 15th February, 2013 (UK; 12th in the US).
for pre-order too; by Tara Bennett and also published by Titan Books, due 26th April, 2013 (UK; 16th in the US). The cover here appears to be a final shot from the film, rather than actual production art. The Art of Monsters University is also up for pre-order as well.
Space 1999, Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlett, Terrahawks, Joe 90, UFO. My whole childhood just died. Rest In Peace Gerry Anderson.

Sad to hear about Gerry Anderson. He had me hooked from Four Feather Falls. And then Supercar of course.

Sad news. Gerry Anderson RIP. For men of my age his work made childhood an incredible place to be.

Goodbye Gerry Anderson. Space 1999 series one was some of the most sublime, philosophical SF ever to grace the TV sets of the world.

Gerry Anderson made my childhood better. (My favorite Thunderbird was 4, Gordon's, because I could legitimately play with it in the bath.)

Rest in peace, Gerry Anderson. Thanks for so, so much. A legacy that will live on for decades.

Sad to hear of death of Gerry Anderson. Thunderbirds still regular viewing in our house, and I remember Space 1999 with particular fondness

Nissan said it's auto show lineup will include a mix of pure racing cars such as the Motul Autech GT-R, the GT-R Nismo GT3 and the impressive looking DeltaWing, and customized production and concept models.
Among the new proposals for Nissan's production cars is a Nismo Performance Package for the all-electric Leaf, which brings an assortment of aero parts, but strangely, no changes to the car's powertrain (…), and personalization concepts for the Juke crossover and the Note sub-compact.
For more details on Nissan's Tokyo Auto Salon 2013 roster, hop over the break for the press blurb.
2013 Tokyo Auto Salon Vehicle Lineup [From Nissan PR]Juke Personalization Concept
The unique nature of the Juke begs to be modified to the enthusiast driver's tastes, and the Juke Personalization Concept does that in a fun and fashionable way.
Note Personalization Concept
This exciting new example of "the customized hot hatch" will feature a daring graphics motif that is dubbed as "digital camouflage."
Juke Nismo (Reference exhibit):
The Juke Nismo was engineered and developed with the passion and experience that has made Nismo one of the world's premiere motorsports organizations and factory-tuning divisions.
Nissan LEAF Nismo Performance Package
Inspired by Nismo race machines, the Leaf Nismo's special body kit possesses aerodynamic technology that optimizes front and rear lift balance for improved overall stability and efficiency.
Fairlady Z Nismo Z-Challenge Spec (Reference exhibit):
Complete with safety equipment and other parts necessary for motorsports, this specially-built racecar—which will compete in the single-spec race series called the Z-Challenge—provides a safe and thrilling way for enthusiasts to enjoy driving on a racetrack
Motul Autech GT-R
Nissan GT-Rs won three out of the eight total races in the GT500 class of the 2012 Super GT Series, with the S Road Mola GT-R taking both the Team Championships and the Drivers Title for the second straight year.
The Motul Autech GT-R was one of the racecars that competed in the GT500 class of the 2012 Super GT Series.
Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3
The 2013 Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3, which made its debut in March 2012, is an improved version of the 2012 model, with better engine output, increased reliability and enhanced aerodynamics. The racecar is in compliance of FIA GT3 regulation and will continue its assault on racing events all over the world, including the Super GT, Super Taikyu and the British GT Championship.
Nissan DeltaWing
This revolutionary new racecar has garnered worldwide attention since its debut last year. Using only half the fuel supply and tires of a conventional racecar, the DeltaWing competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June 2012 and finished 5th overall at the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) finale in October 2012 in Atlanta, Georgia.
NV350 Caravan Rider Transporter
With grandiose styling and exceptional cargo capacity, the custom-built NV350 Caravan Rider is truly a commercial van for the new generation. Not only is it a capable workhorse, it also excels as an ideal recreational/leisure vehicle for those with active lifestyles.
Note Rider
Thanks to its powerful exterior design, the Note Rider has high dose of flair for a compact car. The dark-plated front fascia and aluminum wheels that highlight this Auto Salon-special model exude a high level of "coolness."
We don't get the opportunity to learn the young woman's name, but we do get to know a little about her preferences in underwear and lingerie, and that she fits comfortably on the R8's door.
As for the car itself, the seller confusingly states it’s an R8 GT (which is the V10 model) in the title but then goes to say it features a supercharged 4.2-liter V8 right below, before we read the description that follows and which says it's powered by a "4.2L 4163CC V8 GAS DOHC Naturally Aspirated". Go figure…
In any case, and excluding the scantily dressed young lady, the R8 is priced at $130,000.
