H. P. L. Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Swiss artist H.R. Giger, who designed the creature in Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror classic "Alien," has died at age 74 from injuries suffered in a fall, his museum said Tuesday. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/13/hr-giger-dead-alien-artist_n_5314408.html Also, Giger provided art to many fundamental metal albums, such as Celtic Frost, the last Tryptikon and many others.

Stormtron Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The Danzig III artwork rules. Giger had to go back and draw a sword over the knob. http://i.imgur.com/FAn52AF.png 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
