Well, it’s pretty obvious since there haven’t been updates for almost 2 years now; I just don’t have time nowadays to mantain this blog anymore.

BUT, if you want to keep updated with CG daily news, I’ve just setup a twitter account so you can either update your RSS feed to the new one, or just follow me on twitter! Click the image above to go to my twitter account, or click here.

This blog will cease to exist on Sept. 2010: that’s when the hosting expires.

Thanks for reading, and hope to see you on twitter!

Stan Winston, an Oscar-winning visual effects artist, has died at age 62.

Winston died at his Malibu home Sunday evening after a seven-year struggle with multiple myeloma, according to a rep from Stan Winston Studio.

“Stan died peacefully at home surrounded by family,” a spokeswoman said.

Winston won four visual effects Oscars and earned multiple nominations. His first Oscar was for James Cameron’s “Aliens” (1986). Winston later won two Oscars for “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” (1992) (visual effects and makeup) and 1993’s “Jurassic Park.”
