Ralph McQuarrie — Luke On Hoth
Empire Strikes Back Conceptual Art, Large format Giclee, 2006 (Original Painting, 1978)
I wish this were an actual Empire Strikes Back original from legendary conceptual artist Ralph McQuarrie. That would be… just lovely.
But I’m not complaining. Just observing.
It’s actually an oversized canvas Giclee, limited to an edition of just 5 copies, published by Acme Archives about 15 years ago. Scanned from the original in highest resolution, the quality of the reproduction is superb.
Ralph McQuarrie. Star Wars.
Not much more to add here.
(Well, except that a smaller-sized version is still available from Acme here. They deserve a free plug, don’t you think?)
