Over the last few years creativity in all its forms has been unleashed thanks in no small part to technology, this website is a celebration of that fact. Expect me to waffle on about pretty much anything that might, however tenuously, be linked to art and design.

Ralph McQuarrie


33% George, 33% John Williams and 33% Ralph McQuarrie. In my mind this is how I divvy up the original trilogy. Though John Williams does get a fair amount of recognition for his part, Ralph McQuarrie on the other hand only ever seems to get a passing mention. A shame really--what would that original Star Wars universe have looked like without his awesome imagination? To answer my own question--it would look similar to the new trilogy, i.e. pretty average! With the exception of Darth Maul there are no character designs to equal the two above.
