Was my favorite artist and childhood idol. He was the conceptual designer for "The Fifth Element" and inspired Droid charachters from "Star Wars".
Too bad I never got to meet him.

A real master of line art.
The youngsters obessessed with Photoshop and speedpaints could learn a lot from his style. His character/suit designs on Tron & Alien still look so cool and have inspired generations of artists.
Need to dig out my well thumbed 70's and 80's Heavy Metal magazines now.
A real shame that Jodorowsky's Dune was never made - his designs there (in the pre Star Wars 70's) would have been amazing to see.
A great artist has passed

Tragic, his inclusion on any project could raise it above the pale.
