Worked up from an image taken from Google maps, with the Street View mode.

I remember I was looking at a car in a craigs mullins painting at the time, it was much better, haha 
. Wish I could find it.

As a Gibson fan, I have to admit: This picture meets the atmosphere of Chiba better than I could in my dreams!
Check out my newer one, I think I did it even better!
Nice, you send dreams buddy!
Thanks, glad they're not nightmares.
Hello PHATandy, I am currently doing doctoral research in urban studies on the representation and image of the cyberpunk city. Can you tell more broadly about your creative process? How do you work and how to re-imagine the space of the city from Gibson novel? What about conventional or innovative drawing techniques in your work? Any data is important to me and I will give due credit. Also I would love to show your work in my research if I have your permission. Your work seems important to be researched, discussed and disseminated. Sincerely, M. Mr. Jorge Octavio Ocaranza (my email: yolcos@hotmail.com)

Hi 
I really love your artwork here. I'm curating a blog themed around cyperpunk for a postgrad project and would like to link your image to my blog. The conditions of the project are that all media must adhere to strict copyright, so I would love it if you could give me permission to use the image. I will be able to link back to your deviantart profile and will credit you as the artist. Cheers. Tim

Hi Stegox
I'd rather you didn't thank you. Neuromancer isn't my property and I wouldn't want people using it for anything.
Sorry. but thanks for asking.

Hi,sorry again for the trouble, could you tell us (if you know) who is the present owner of the artwork?
thank you

Well I'm the owner of the artwork,
It's just that's its based on a book, Neuromancer by William Gibson.
So I feel like its not right for it to be used like that, since its based on another's ideas, not my own.

No;
I'd rather you didn't, the concept is technically not mine since it is based on W Gibsons novel.
Thanks for asking though.
