Good-bye Mr. Ralph McQuarrie

Sadly, We lost a big legend in the Sci-Fi concept art world yesterday. Mr. Ralph McQuarrie has passed away at the age of 82. I've always wanted to meet him as he was probably the most talented traditional illustrator and matte painter of our time. Please enjoy this compilation of Ralph's Star Wars concept art work. May his paintings live on forever on this planet and perhaps eventually spread to galaxies far, far away. We will miss you.
