R.I.P. H.R. Giger (5 February 1940 – 12 May 2014)

The Swiss master was one of the brilliant artists of the 20th century and one of the greatest artists period.   I first saw his work in one of my older brothers Penthouse magazines when I was just a young lad sneaking a peak.  I was fascinated more by his artwork then I was the women on the other pages.  Later, I saw the Alien movie and of course the Celtic Frost LP cover and at that time I began buying every book I could find on Giger and his art.  His art does not let go, it grasps you and pulls you in to this strange, yet familiar world. R.I.P.
