A nod of respect for a fellow artist and visionary, may he rest in peace.

The omega-level place set off my malware alert. :\

when i saw his 1701 art idea. i coiuld see were 1701 d sorta would come from.

i only have bing look for safe sites. but that does noot mean it always finds one.

I was very sad when I heard about this over the weekend.

He was on of the greats in my opinion....he did so much for sci-fi in general...I will remember him most though for his work on Star Wars and Star Trek. What an amazing artist and person.

RIP McQuarrie....
