Hi guys, constructive criticism, I like it.

Allow me to introduce myself – I’m the guy responsible for the ‘poorly designed’ site.

Thanks for the support Brett, shame there wasn’t a little more!

In answer to the comments, I can understand folkâ€™s unhappiness with the bitmap heavy content and applet usage. However my priority during the initial construction of this site has been ‘what would Ralph’ like to see.

However the opinions of every visitor to the site are important to us, so weâ€™d appreciate it if youâ€™d bear with us. This job is much larger than it may appear on the surface.

The website will be upgraded significantly, but for now the majority of our time is being spent recovering and restoring a huge amount of Ralphâ€™s work (and thereâ€™s a lot).

Apologies that the site isnâ€™t to everyoneâ€™s liking, but weâ€™re getting there (anyone remember the old site? Take my word for it, this one is a big improvement). I guess you canâ€™t please all of the people all of the time.

Once weâ€™re able to update the content, we hope you revisit and enjoy your stay a little more.

All the best . . .

I love this guy, and not only because I used to spend hours looking at his pictures. I actually wrote him a dopey fan letter (the only one I’ve ever sent) when I was about 13 years old and he took the time to write me back and give me some encouragement. It really made my day.

I hear that he now has Parkinsons so he doesn’t paint anymore

The thing could’ve had the best art direction in the world, and they still would’ve still been really really bad movies. But yes, I think the original McQuarrie stuff was original and inspired.
