Sad to hear .....the genius behind the Aliens Dropship and APC and the Last Starfighter. It amazes me how people who grew up in the 40's 50's could design such awesome looking stuff. Modern Sci Fi design usually pales in comparison IMO.

Really sad news
He was a very great artist. A lot of people know his work without knowing his name.

All my respect

That sucks. Another great one gone.

 

[Robin of Spiritwood]

Good legacy of work though. He helped build popular culture.

83 isn't a bad age to make it to.

83 isn't a bad age to make it to.

Yes at the moment there are a lot of artists leaving and also in France. They are all aged.

It's a matter of generation.

And RIP.

Another part of my life dies off. Oh, joy.

Another part of my life dies off. Oh, joy.

RIP for this part of your life.

Unfortunately over the years we crumble all little by little.
