Unhappy Ralph McQuarrie has passed

I just saw this on Facebook. Ralph McQuarrie - artist and designer extraordinaire - passed away today at 82.

http://www.ralphmcquarrie.com/

Fortunately, his work - conceptual art and design on all the major sci-fi franchises and more - will live forever.

Rest in Peace, Mr. McQuarrie.

I am
Dawg

Sad day, indeed.

A loss for sure. His artistic vision has had a real influence on this world we live in, and most people have never even heard of him.
