H.R. Giger
i just found out this morning that my favorite artist, H.R. Giger, died on May 12. he was 74. i had been hoping to meet him before i died; it was one of the things on my life's to-do list. now i(and the world) are only left with his work.
an article with some pictures
his art, most of it darker, or of a more sexual nature, can be found scattered throughout the internet.
some of his more kid-friendly work:

Oh wow I had no idea. And I was just talking about H.R. Giger to my brother this week. Damn. I loved his stuff, as weird, organic and often violently sexual as it was.
He had a very perverse brain and a brilliant way of portraying his thoughts into art.
If it wasn't for him, the Alien franchise just wouldn't have existed.
EDIT:
Holy moly I love that bar!!!

Thread cleaned. Just to be clear, the opening poster of a thread does not get to dictate terms of the thread to other members. If you don't like the way someone is treating the topic of a thread, you may ask him or her politely to change their posting style, and a moderator will then determine whether to enforce the request if it is ignored. The host of a thread is the community at large, not an individual who happens to start the thread.

His artwork was terrifying and beautiful... but they were inspired by terrible nightmares that came from a deeply troubled mind. On one hand, it's sad that he passed, but on the other... well, I wouldn't wish nightmares with things like these on anyone. Goodbye HG... rest well.

bloodsucker and rmz, if you could kindly remove your offensive posts, it would be much appreciated. after your two posts are removed, i'll remove my posted response to the comic, along with this post as well. The subject matter here is of a much more respectful and somber nature.

We should drink a beer some time Fred. Perhaps in toast to this fellow.
That is a pitty. I can't say he was my favourite but I have over the years been enchanted by his work to say the least.
