I like how escher plays with physics and geiger plays with
fears, they're both good! what a limp reply! so I'll say
Escher...

I like them both equally. I write soundtracks to their
works.

Paul McCarthy too.

Escher - very cerebral... very mathmatical

They are both very talented illustrators and very different.
I would not hang eather on my wall. Because it looks too
studenty.

I would definately hang Escher up, fuck what other people
think about it - it's inspirational - moreso, i believe,
than geiger.

escher's work mostly plays with perception and impossible
structures, which i like a lot.

dont know much giger though, all i remember is some
alien-looking poster i saw once.

can anyone refer me to a good giger site?

At the moment I have a photograph of a Rebecca Horn
sculpture, a Giaccometti drawing and a Saudi poster
advetising a public hanging.

Escher...easily the best of the 2....

Altho, yeah...Giger is very interesting; but he doesn't come
close to my love of Escher....

www.hrgiger.com is the official one.. has a few prints to
look at I believe.

Both of them deal brilliantly with the impossible and the
imagination... but obviously they're so different you really
can't compare the two fairly.

(As of right now, I'm more a giger person. Dunno how long
though).

I cant stand both of them, they are so gimmicky and
suffering overexposure
