I'm pretty bummed about this. The dude was super visually imaginative, known for the iconic look of movies like Blade Runner, Tron, and Aliens to more obscure work like mechanical designs in the anime Turn-A Gundam of all things.

RIP.

I'd heard the name but had forgotten exactly who he was until I read your post and that link.
