The Official Starwars.com Blog lets us know that the great Ralph McQuarrie has recieved the distinction of “EXPOSÉ 7 Grand Master” by the CG Society of Digital Artists.
"Ralph McQuarrie's name was forever linked with George Lucas and 'Star Wars' when the movies launched the science-fiction genre into the stratosphere in the late 1970s.
The concept artwork that McQuarrie created was instrumental in convincing movie studio executives to fund 'Star Wars', and inspired generations of artists who followed in his footsteps in not just the 'Star Wars' sequels, but the entire entertainment industry as it made its first steps into a larger world."
