Noriyoshi Ohrai Passed Away (Illustrator for Star Wars, Godzilla, Metal Gear, Koei)

His KOEI works are masterful, and so are even the non-poster works he did for print works (localized and indigent). It's sad that he had to leave us so quickly...judging by his MGS works, the guy had a lot of creativity and expertise remaining.

What a prolific career. Wasn't familiar with his beautiful version of the ROTJ poster (one was also illustrated for Episode I).

Seeing it all in one place would be a treat. It's that perfect blend of pulpy aesthetic, colors, and composition, mixed in with other more fine art and some classics.


Rest in peace.
