Let the Force be with Him


Today, is a sad day for the Visual Effects/Film/Video/Audiences/Artists/Comic-Book World. 
A storyboarding wizard, designer, illustrator has passed on to a better place than
the environments and settings he let us escape to. To be quite frank, he was the first person I got to read about when I picked up The Making of Star Wars at the Local Public Library and fell in love with what he had in mind, and how free of care he truly was in falling into something he truly loved to do. Ralph McQuarrie's work will continue to surpass and inspiring future filmmaker, writers, illustrators, storyboard artists to dream big, dream creatively and to be open to every idea possible. Darth Vader's mask was a concoction of a Fishing Hat and Hockey Mask. These little things in life amplified is truly what many of us strive for to become a greater artist in every way shape or form. 

Thanks Mr.McQuarrie and deepest sympathies for your family, friends and employees (artists) that are truly going to miss you.
