Swiss artist Hans-Ruedi Giger has died at the age of 74, Reuters reports quoting Swedish public broadcaster SRF. Giger died (http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/05/13/us-people-giger-idUSKBN0DT0HX20140513) as a result of injuries after a fall
Best k**wn to the public for designing the Alien creature (or Xe**morph) from the Alien movie franchise, Giger was a painter, sculptor and set designer
Born in Chur, Switzerland, in 1940, he studied architecture and industrial design. He developed a unique style of art in which he combined mechanical, robotic elements with biological lifeforms, as can be seen in his Necro**micon and Necro**micon II books of paintings.
He designed several record album covers (http://**isecreep.com/hr-giger-album-covers/), including Danzig's "Danzig 3: How the Gods Kill" and Carcass's "Heartwork." He also designed Jonathan Davis's (Korn singer) unique microphone stand (http://insanedetails.blogspot.com/2013/04/interview-with-jonathan-davis-korns.html) Read more...
