I was sad when I heard on Tuesday that H.R. Giger had passed away. I’ve always been fascinated by his art. And would I love the Alien films as much as I do if he hadn’t been involved? Probably not. Anyway – I wasn’t sure what to post in honor of him but I wanted to at least make some sort of mention of this brilliant artist so I thought I’d share this good article about him by Matt Zoller Seitz, which you can read here: rogerebert.com.
Hans Rudolf “Ruedi” Giger, 1940 – 2014

His design for THE Alien is just amazing isn’t it. So iconic.
Pure genius! Totally agree. : )
One unique, talented artist. He will be missed.
Definitely. : (
Who?
The guy who drew all the penises & vaginas.
Oh! I thought that was Mike.
He certainly had a think for weird dongs and fannies
I have no clue what you’re on about. ; )
*thing
Ho
Ummm can you delete my previous typo.. lol I was not calling you a ho. Was trying to type how sad! Yes his artwork was genius.
Lol – I do that all the time. The stupid WordPress app jumps around & it’s too easy to hit “post” by accident. Agree – his stuff was amazing. : )
LOL I was like woops I hope she doesn’t think I was telling her off on her blog. No way!
It’s a shame, although I have to admit that I thought that he was already dead. Still, he was certainly a great and original artist.
Definitely. : )
😦
Agree. : (
Giger was brilliant! I saw an exhibit of some of his work that showcased some of the furniture he designed. Mind blowing!
That would be awesome to see. : ) I so want to go to one of those Giger bars! I did see some of his work at the Tate Modern in London once. Amazing stuff. Love his work. Oh the crazy stuff that had to be going on inside that head of his… : )
Giger was a genius. His work has always been so thought provoking. Nice post!
Thanks. : ) Giger’s work was amazing. What a loss.
