Yesterday I found out, like many film fans, to my great horror and sadness that Stan Winston died of cancer at the age of 62. Stan was a special effects guru who had led the industry for 25 years and left a huge imprint on the landscape of imaginations the world over. His iconic work on Terminator, Aliens, Jurassic Park, and countless other modern and classic films filled with wonder are the reason I care so passionately about film and probably the reason I even pick up pencils to doodle from time to time. The man was one of my few childhood Heroes, a God of creations, and a truly remarkable man. He will be dearly missed.
