Those are some hellish nightmares good sir!

HR Giger RIP
H. R. Giger passed away today at the age of 74. His paintings are ground-breaking pieces of art that have driven countless imaginations wild with horrors that linger upon the edge of our minds. Most of course know him from his renditions in the movie Aliens, but he was a pillar of the fantasy-art and horror-art scene.
