Hey all,

No time for a full blog now, but I wanted to show everone something really cool I just found. Well, in my random travlings today (online of course), I was looking for a specific M.C.Escher painting. In my searchings, I stumbled across some paintings done of Aliens (from the movies/comic books/games) by a man named H.R.Giger. Since I always make it a point to check out new things that I deem 'cool' I of course used goole to bring up a spattering of his artwork. I can say with a clear concious that I don't think I have truely been amazed by an artist this much in a long while. His art is a combination of mechanical and organic and always with an underlying darker tone. I have never seen more beautifly depicted demonic horrors than this man has drawn. I encourage all of you to check him out if you get the chance. Below is one of his typical pieces.



They are a bit disturbing (and this one isn't the worst of them) but they are so unique and beautiful, that I could not sleep tonight without putting this out there.
