H.R. Giger Dead at 74
Known as the designer of the Alien series alien, artist H.R. Giger died yesterday after falling. ABCNews.com has the report, which I’ll leave you to read. Very sad day.
Giger’s art was twisted and strange and went far beyond the Alien, with a few standout bits being:
There are many books featuring Giger’s work (I’ve got three or four), but one of the easiest to find these days is H. R. Giger’s Retrospective: 1964-1984* which is recommended to fans of Giger’s art.
