Today the H.R. Giger museum announced the loss of the the legend himself. We're told it was due to a complication from a fall down stairs. Im overwhelmed with emotions and my mind is racing, Ive spent this morning crying on and off. I may have never known him but he had such a huge impact on so much and thats something we all felt. I remember being a kid and seeing his work and being so in awe and finding it so intense, not like anything I had ever seen. His work was the kind that love it or hate it , it evoked something in you. His influences can be seen weaved all through art, film, music, architecture and so many other places today. He created the aliens for the Alien films which were hugely successful and yet walked away because he disliked how Hollywood worked. That in itself says volumes about him as a person. The art community has lost one of the most influential and amazing artists of my time. Rest In Peace sir, you could never be forgotten.
