Ralph McQuarrie

For those of you who dont know, one of my all time favorite artist Ralph McQuarrie, the man that helped George Lucas bring Stars Wars to the big screen, has died aged 82. 
He created the look of characters including Darth Vader, Chewbacca and R2-D2 and C-3PO aswell as the Storm Troopers and the light Saber. 

He also worked on the original Battlestar Galactica TV series and Steven Spielberg films E.T. and Cocoon, for which he won an Oscar.
For those of you who do not know much about him i highly suggest you check out his website, and work.
