R.I.P. H.R. Giger

Amen, @Zeta - he was unique in many ways. 

Devastated! Hans was someone who i really looked up to and respected greatly! He was unique and a true artistic genius. I always wanted to meet him and now i never will.

R.I.P Mr Giger

@Something Real...Beautiful words and thoughts! Thank you!

I have tears in my eyes...I too would have loved to have met him. He was a hero to me, and one of the finest artists to have ever graced this earth. 

H R Giger, I loved you and your work.

@SomethingReal - very eloquently put. His visions will now be beyond imagining out there

in the ether.

I am willing to bet that 'Prometheus 2' will now be a tribute of sorts to him.

We may see the makers really let go creatively as a homage.

This is shocking and sad news, especially as it was not of natural causes but a accident, whichs means his death is pre-mature.

But he has left a Legacy behind him a truly one of a kind artist who had given the world a unique style of art, that has inspired many other artists and movies around the world.

I wonder if Ridley would have wanted him to work on Part 2 of Prometheus with some ideas, lets hope they have had meetings all ready and Ridley has some ideas from him.  As while the movie will be Giger inspired you cant help but wonder what wacky and crazy yet wonderfull concepts and ideas that man would have given Ridley.

R.I.P HR Giger  A LEGEND!

Something Real~ It's just that I felt that he wasn't yet ready to leave this mortal coil!

I was hoping he would be involved in future projects, especially Prometheus 2.

I trust his influence will be there, in the sequel?

What an absolutely terrible loss. Thoughts go out to his family and friends. Without him, none of this fictional universe we adore so much would have been remotely possible.

For me  H.R. Giger was the type of genius who inspired those who inspire others, and will continue to inspire. A sad day and a great loss.

RIP.  H.R. Giger

He became legendary early in his career. I did not get to live in the time of Da Vinci or Van Gogh, of Bosch or Monet, but I did get to live in the time of Giger. And as you can see, he did my avatar, in 1973. 

Very sad news indeed. :(

Very sad. Another one of the old school masters has gone. He played a major hand in creating a legend. Good bye good sir.

Ya...Right!?

Giger, your work has inspired me more than that of any other artist. 

You are irreplacable, and as many others have said - you will never be forgotten. 

R.I.P. good sir.
