Title: H.R Giger is dead
Post by: fano on 20:30, 13 May 14
A sad day, Oscar winner: 'Alien' creator H.R. Giger is dead - swissinfo.ch (http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/culture/Alien_creator_H.R._Giger_is_dead.html?cid=38569780)  :'(


Let's thank him for great inspiration for a lot of games (like R-Type,Captain Blood...) , films and so on...

R.I.P. As a kid his creations used to scare the shit out of me. Later on I used to have his posters on my wall for years...

I had a CPC+ slideshow planned a few months back; but seems a little morbid to release it now.
I have collated all the lithographs and books I could find over the years; his work was, is and always will be genius.

R.I.P. H.R.G.

what would you expect from Giger ? the best of mylittleponey in friendshipland ?


The more bid the better hommage.

Also, does Captain blood style ring a bell ? quite gigerish to me...

Phillipe Urlich wrotes on his Facebook that without Giger, Captain Blood would not be.

I'd say this is the moment to give him a tribute...
