Honestly, this makes me sad, because Giger was one of my favourite artists, and not just because his art is what inspired the design for the Alien, though that certainly doesn't hurt.

I am absolutely heartbroken. I am a massive fan of his work in the Alien series and he himself was a fascinating individual with endless talent. I hope he rests in peace, and I hope that Ridley Scott makes a nod to him in his next movie.

 

I read this news this afternoon and it just ruined my day.

I never liked all of the Alien movies but I had and appreciated some of his prints and sketches. I know he will be missed.

I don't think the world of art, whether film, music, or what have you, will ever be the same.

 

Rest in Peace, Giger.
