We lost a great one...

When Basil Gogos accepted my friend request on facebook, I must admit I did a whole lot of squeee-ing and fan-girling all over my computer screen! To me, he was a living legend, and it warmed my heart to know that he was still out there doing his thing and creating the art that so inspired me throughout my life! Years ago I bought a book of his collected works, and it's still one of my favorites. No one else captured my favorite monsters like he did with his use of color and light. His work has so heavily influenced and inspired me, and I idolize him. I only wish I had been able to meet him in the flesh... RIP, Mr. Gogos... your mad talent will be sorely missed down here on earth.
