RIP Mr. Winston

I've officially moved into my new digs and auctioned off my bedazzled flamingo (and bought another) and will post soon about all things, but tonight I pass along words of mourning for one of my idols, Stan Winston. He died today after a 7 year battle with illness. He and Jim Henson made up two of the deities in my vision of religion for most of my young life and I hope he's somewhere peaceful and shiny now. May the heavens bless you Mr. Winston. I promise to build an alien in your memory.
