A hand-painted Ralph McQuarrie preliminary illustration for Lucasfilm's 1995 holiday card. This concept for Lucasfilm's annual holiday card design features Figrin D'An and the Modal Nodes, the all-Bith band who played their song "Mad About Me," also known as the "Cantina Band" song, in the Mos Eisley cantina. The concept was not used as the card's design went in another direction. McQuarrie, best known for his designs on the original Star Wars films, was a master artist and his painted illustrations in private collections are exceedingly rare.

The illustration is rendered in mixed media on graphite-lined illustration paper and affixed to a sheet of white board labeled "17 x 22 1/2." It remains in good overall condition with paint smudging and minor edge wear from handling and storage. Dimensions: 14" x 22" (35.75 cm x 56 cm)

Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.
