I would be hard pressed to think of any author, artist or musician who had as much influence on my creativity when I was young, malleable and receptive, as Ray Harryhausen. He made gods, and he made monsters, and through that magic he made heroes and he made stories.
Everything I love, everything I believe about the power, the excitement, the wonder of storytelling, starts with this man painstakingly moving the bones of a walking skeleton. Watching Jason &amp;amp; The Argonauts and The 7th Voyage of Sinbad sparked my imagination like nothing else. Ray Harryhausen was a visionary, and I&nbsp;tell stories because of him. I count myself among the creatures he made.
Thank you, Ray. I will celebrate your life and work with my friends this week, &nbsp; but I will also celebrate it for the rest of my days in every story that I write. It all began with you.

RIP.

So sad :(
