His technique of cutting out by hand and gluing each individual element has inspired a generation of artists. Winston has constructed over 50 album covers for a variety of artists and is also a pro lific illustrator who has worked for such prestigious and anti-prestigious magazines as The New Yorker and Playboy.This event is a MESS (Media Ecology Soul Salon), an engaging interview by Gerry Fialka with the following modern thinkers who'll address the metaphysics of their callings and the nitty-gritty of their crafts.
