Winston1.jpg
Hey guys. Quint here with some absolutely horrible news. We had an unsubstantiated email come in about 20 minutes ago telling us that Stan Winston passed away last night. I couldn’t find any reference to it online at the AP wire, Variety, CNN or anywhere, so I figured it wasn’t true.

Then a second email came in, which made my heart drop into my stomach, a new person saying the same thing, without any backup. I asked for clarification and got it, so I got on the phone with a friend of mine who knows Winston and got the confirmation.

    the dude was one of my idols in high school, and is a big inspiration for me to pursue the dream I'm following now, going back to school to learn animation

    didn't know he had worked on iron man

    which is goddamned fantastic because the suit stays true to the adi granov design without being as curvy as it actually is

    In 20 years we probably won't even see his type of props and prosthetics anymore, and the Jim Henson Creature Shop will be out of business. Kinda sucks.

    The man was a genius. I still watch Jurassic Park every time it's on TV, just so I can see the bit where the kids are in the kitchen, trying to escape the Raptors.
