Guy was an amazing artist. His Star Wars concept art is world famous and I'm sure he inspired so many.

He lived a full life, but guy was an idol of mine.

Actually really sad to hear this, as I loved his work. Hope it isn't taken for granted in the future.

The guy was talented. I still have a folio with prints of his Star Wars concept art. I always thought it was cool.

I've got a couple of SW art books loaded up with his stuff. One of the coolest random Christmas presents I ever got.

One of the originals. AMAZING stuff. True genius.

Concept art with real paint... insane.

You made your mark. Rip.
