Wow, that stuff is amazing. What an incredible imagination. Love the way he can make really organic looking stuff and at the same time really mechanical looking stuff, and really capture the essence of each. And his landscapes and other backgrounds are fabulous too.
My goodness, I didn't know conceptual art for Star Wars existed in such a developed form. How much did he influence the forms of all the robots, characters and vehicles? It's incredible. And he had a truly cinematic mind - his understanding of cinematic composition is just superb.

That - is - AWESOME. Best thing I've read all day.
