During the era of Star Wars, it was my great honor to tour the ILM facility and watch some of my friends work on movies like Star Trek. I was invited to very special party at "The Ranch" ...where I met Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. (among others) This was a big moment in my life as an artist.

I've just come back from the Star Wars expo in Paris and stood infront of a matte painting of the Millenium Falcon in a hangar on the planet Hoth (a Mike Pangrazio I think) that I used to freeze frame on my video to look at when I was a kid. If you ever wanted to see an athiest have an epiphany it was right then.Herman Serrano 12 Apr 2006

That's cool-would love to have the chance to tour and meet these people. I have always been a huge fan of the concept artists that come up with this stuff. I saw the Star Wars myth and magic exhibit in washington D.C. a while back and was just blown away by the work and the detail. tell them thanks.
