That sucks, he was an awesome artist.

RIP

 

So many of the movies I enjoyed while growing up where that much better because of him. I hope the Oscars pay these guys all the respect they deserve next year.

 

I've admired Henry's work for so long. That Linds Blair head that Casey finished for me was his. I've been looking for an Alvarez Beetlejuice Blank for years. So many great pieces of so many great characters! His son Dom is a mean sculpter too, and his wife is the best mask painter I've ever seen. My condolences to them.
