And my SW portfolios and art books. And book such as Chalker’s WEB OF THE CHOZEN, Rothman’s THE WORLD IS ROUND and more. While running Traveller in the dark days at the dawn of RPG’s, his artwork served as reference points before we had “official” artwork from GDW and other shops.

Many thanks, Ralph. From your “fill in” illustrations during the Apollo missions to Star Wars, Star Trek, BSG, CE3K and beyond, you had a lot of impact.
