He was (as I will always think, IS) a great artist and always will be. He will be missed.

What a loss this was when I heard it! Yeah, I understand he was pretty old at 82. I remember looking at this guy's artwork when I was a child. Those concept pics of Darth Vader and countless other characters in Star Wars and BSG were awesome just awesome!!
