Fuzz AI Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Swiss surrealist artist/designer H.R. Giger passed away today after sustaining injuries from a fall, aged 74. Best known for his book of paintings, Necronomicon, and his design work for Dune, the Alien franchise, and the game Darkseed.
Puros Y Vino Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Huge fan of Giger. As I write, three of his large format books loom overhead on my book shelf. He was definitely an oddball, but a seriously talented one. I would love to own one of his originals.
Guest rob Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Yeah, his work was amazing, and certainly cutting edge if you take into account the era he was producing it. A true visionary.
straizor Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 rip. i would have wished that his own country would have recognized his talent like the rest of the world did.
MadMax Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 He also designed the ELP artwork for the Brain Salad Surgery LP
GnarlyEggs Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Sad to see this! Love his art and have a few tattoo of his art
