In my opinion his art is amazing the airbrush technique
perfect he can draw hell thats for sure if you saw
"Landscape XVIII" ( the babies mosaic) you know what I´m
talking about I have one of his books by Taschen great
material true alien stuff.

Heres some sites if you dont know him:

Yeah, I know someone who emails me Giger art all the time,
his stuff is great. And there was a poster sale at my
college a couple months ago, HUGE Giger murals for sale.
Pretty cheap, too, but I didn't have any cash on me. Blast
it!

And I just think what 20th Century Fox did to him was pretty
bad in the 4 Alien movies his name didnt show up in
the credits but he was the creator of the alien creature,
the designer of the movies and the enviroment projector.

And he did a piece for Korn
the lucky bastards !

I find his work completely gross
but i'm strangely drawn to look at his stuff... must be
morbid fascination

undoubtably an amazing artist but I think he must be
possessed

too many rotting babies and green tinged female genitals

the video) grin perfectly!

stands. cause i fucking want them. they're hard to describe
but they're fucking cool

i really dig the artwork done by Scott Mutter, his stuff is
artwork challenging perspective and reality, definitely some
cool pieces

i like his artwork.
my favorite is this one series of paintings.
its of the front of a steam engine,
well he took a slit and turned it into other objects, like
vaginas and stuff of that nature.
it was really amazing.

Love his stuff man!!!

LeCoeur you are my hero!!!
I would love to travel and see as much interesting stuff as

When me and "raimons" have enough money we are going to
travel to egypt and explore the pyramids!!!

Egyptians are the most calm (don't know the proper english?)
and nice people i have met!!!
They tel me that kairo is really fucked up but i think it
can't be that bad cause the Egyptyians i have met is really
the coolest people i have met!!!
They are always in a relaxed state of mind.
Atleast the ones ive met.

yeah that museum in switzerland is really great, i hear.
with a bar completely furnitured with giger stuff. must go
there someday. pity the rest of switzerland seems pretty
boring.....

i really like his art. to me it represents the dark side of
humanity.

i think giger really enjoyed the windowlicker video, it
inspired him to make those drawings. that's all.

My siter got me some HRgiger tarot cards from europe when
she was there last, I've got all of his books apart from
his retrospective one, at first it was his rendering skills
(looks like a photograph) that had me amazed, now I look
more at the subject and content more (why does he place
certain things/characters where he does) . I'm definitly
going to see some of his works in person when I travel O.S.

H.R. GIGER, APHEX TWIN & CHRIS CUNNINGHAM should get
together and make some sick twisted morbid video.

yeah, those windowlicker drawings are from a sketchbook he
released a while ago i guess...as netlon sentinel said, he
was just inspired by the video

I love Giger's Birth Machine...
and some picture where there is an endless man made canyon
with random stairs leading nowhere.

Egypt is an amazing country, I spent a life-altering week
there. I really think you should go, save up whatever you
can. Just touching the ancient stones is amazing...
