Thanks for creating an icon for ET species like Xenomorph.

Dayuuummm!

The granddaddy of bio-mech & not so subtle representation of the female genitalia in art is gone.

Fuuuuuuuuuuu...


RIP

I'll always remember him most for this album cover

Man was good.

Unfortunate to hear. He was an artistic legend.

Cuffs is going to be heart broken...

RIP Giger.

May your artistry forever burst from the chests of our imaginations!

Loved his work

Debbie Harry's just been on Good Morning America, I wonder if they had much to do with each other or if he purely just did the art work?

 

[seatea]

Shitty news. The xenomorph is the GOAT alien design.

 

[christhakingpin]

That sucks, RIP

 

[LazyFatass]

Dude was chiefly responsible for two of my favourite movies of all time in Alien and Aliens. I never thought that I would be anything other than repulsed by rape-based imagery and art, but here we are.

 

[BobSappIsMyDad]

Damn. RIP

 

[Grob]

Damn. RIP.

I always meant to buy some of his art.

I've just been looking through my Giger books, he really was incredible. What a stupid way to go.
