Before I knew of Alien, I knew of HR Giger through his album artwork, most notably "Brain Salad Surgery" by Emerson, Lake and Palmer:

i wonder what childhood you need to have to come up with this kind of art

That would be a valid question.

But as a BDSM/fetish photographer who had a very normal childhood and upbringing...I'd say childhood doesn't always shape one's later ambitions, proclivities or creativity.

RIP. He will always be remembered in cinematography.

The attendee in his hospital room said, "just before he died, he was complaining of having chest pains...."

sad news, got several of his albums, was a great artist((

some of you may not remember but there was Amiga game back in ninetees with his graphics (Dark Seed) it was darky (as you may imagine) adventure game.

ask Stanislav Grof, czech psychiatrist and LSD researcher...In his opinion such paintings are typical for bad prenatal feelings ;-)

Some of his work was incredible.

RIP :(

RIP H.R. Higer. I loved darkseed back in the day. I had the PC version.

I've seen ppl with their arms fully tattoed with Giger's drawings. Incredible artist.

RIP. He's name shall be remembered!!!

"hey h.r. giger, can you put some more dicks penetrating vaginas into that architecture, I'm not thoroughly repulsed yet."

great artist. One of a kind talent. So skilled at what he did that even Salvador Dali was weirded out by Giger's work!

I saw him on the set of Alien, but sadly never got to talk to him. I loved his HARKONNEN CHAIR

RIP Mr Giger

too bad there will be no actor like him :(

RIP

Alien is one of my favorite movies!

His aliens are implanted in everyone's brain.

R.I.P. indeed. Nobody could do as did, and when they tried, they failed.

A true original.

:D

May you rest in peace H.R. Giger
