Collider have reported on a new book of art by James Cameron who has brought us some of the best and most visually distinct sci-fi films.

It's titled Tech Noir and the sample images in the Collider piece are very cool. One which looks like the alien queen is titled "queen of the trash bags".

Mmmm.

Wouldn't say it to her face.

Either of them.

Cameron describes the book:

Tech Noir represents my full creative journey, from schoolbook sketches inspired by my voracious consumption of sci-fi novels, through to fully rendered pieces of concept art for The Terminator, Aliens, and Avatar. It also features never-before-seen imagery from my unmade sci-fi epic Xenogenesis, along with theatrical posters I painted for B-movie studios to help pay the rent when I was trying to land my first directing gig. The illustrations are accompanied by raw commentary and stories about my early life that I've never told before - some of which even surprised me!

The US release date is December 14. We get earlier in Australia - nice for a change - on December 1.
