Some ultra rich asshole in SF in the late 1800's was trying to buy all the properties on a lot and when one owner wouldn't sell it to him he erected a 40' fence on the 3 sides he owned surrounding the property, blocking the once great views and having the house in almost complete darkness all day. It became known as the spite fence and a symbol of rich greed tourist attraction.

Fuuuck... you are now bringing back memories of 11 year old me, who used to stare entranced for hours at his work...

When I was about 11 I bought his BladeRunner sketch book, and I still have it.
It is now worth about $1000

Syd Mead is amazing. He has been billed as a "Visual Futurist"

Here's another fun one: Moebius.

Yeah, I have pretty much everything he ever put out. Including that nice hardback of the Incal they made just before he died, that really is a nice thing.
