Mr. Syd Mead and Mr. Neal A. Prince have been friends for many years. Mr. Mead was asked by Mr. Prince to complete all of the renderings for the proposed new restaurant designs for the St. Anthony Inter-Continental Hotel in San Antonio, Texas in 1980. As well as for the Inter-Continental New Orleans Hotel Restaurant, in Louisiana in 1981. The Trust has retained and currently holds these two works of art by Mr. Mead as Mr. Prince refers to these two renderings as "rare masterpieces of true renderings from the Master Artist himself, Mr. Syd Mead". These renderings reflect the work of a master, which was “not” done by any computer generated program, but with the skills of his own hands. These two renderings from a naked eye would assume they would be a photograph – but again, by his own artistic hands and formally educated eyes by which Mr. Mead is able to create these two masterpieces for further generations to appreciation and admire. As this craftsmanship and discipline, due to advancement of software applications, are no longer taught, and thus, these forms of art become priceless.
