H.R. Giger passes away, 74

You seriously don’t like him because people find his work creepy? Are you serious?

The mic stand he made for Jonathan Davis was sick as fuck anyway.

Total respect to the Pterodactyl who reminded us of the Aphex - Giger conection. SRK is a much better place now :slight_smile:

I never said I didn’t like him. I said my least favorite part of his art is his fans.

Don’t tell me what to do. you’re not the boss of me.
if you don’t get the connection between Korn,Icp, and H.R. Giger I’ll give you a hint.

Spoiler

They’re all things that counter culture White trash people like

How is a world renowned surrealist Counter Culture stuff? Even more so, how do you call it White Trash?

Plenty of artists do commercial works because it pays. Dali did window displays at Macy’s. A lot of the portraits hanging in galleries were commissions. To get mad at a dude for getting paid while grinding it out in galleries and putting out artbooks full of things that had nothing to do with Alien, Korn or whatever retarded sense of logic you have is some third grade understanding of the world.

Hold up, be right back, I’m gonna go shit on Jimmy Paige because he was a studio guitarist too.

First.
An Artist’s fans don’t count as an individual’s “art”.

2nd.

The fuck? Do you KNOW the definition of counter-culture? Art is BY FAR one of the hardest career paths to make a living off of, doing commercial shit to pay bills and live between their means or beyond.

3rd.

Lol @ White Trash

Doing art for a large faceless corporation is much less intimate than doing art for a washed up crybaby that hasn’t evolved artistically since 96.

H.R. Giger isn’t even close to being as mainstream as dali. The only reason he’s known as well as he is is because of Alien. in most cases people don’t know his name outside of nerd culture.For a good example look at Beksinski, his art is much more varied than Giger and shows a much wider range of emotions, however how many of you bros are going to have to GIS the dude to remind yourself who he is or that you’ve seen his art before. Try asking some random bro wearing cargo shorts and a hockey jersey about dali and he will probably recognize the name. H.R. Giger…not so much.

not once did I say anything about his art. I think his craft is legit, he is amazing at what he does. but what he portrays is much more interesting than how he portrays it.

I won’t stand down on most Giger “fans” out there being lame. If you look at his art and all you see is random scary imagery then all of my troll posts/ juggalo comments are directed towards you.

Look at this self important elitist phaggot tryin to tell people what they need to see other peoples art.

Bro, do you even art? I can’t help being an elitist when the FGC is full of plebes.

Wasn’t a huge fan of H.R. Giger, but his art definitely revolutionized various media, most notably the Alien franchise.

Much of the movie monster and alien designs in contemporary cinema began borrowing from him, which is a relief compared to cartoonish creatures that they used before.

R. I. P.

Sassy the art hipster who berates fellow members of a videogames forum of most of which the majority don’t care for fighters less than 5 years old :rofl:

Get off your fucking high horse :rofl: smh

What am I reading? Counter culture white trash? There’s never a need to use insults like that.

RIP H.R. Giger. His work will live on longer than the elitists who sully his name.
