H.R. Giger would have been 82 today. Endless inspiration from this man, and his Pilot/Space Jockey design and prop literally kept me wondering and dreaming for decades. And it still does. I always wanted to meet the man. I have a feeling the language barrier wouldn't have been a big deal. He would have known I adored his work, and owed him a great debt, by the expression on my face.

Awesome ring.
Thanks! One of my favorite things.
Such a pioneer! There will always be imitators, but no one that comes close to his genius.
What a cool keepsake to have in honor of him.
Yeah, his work and style is so unique that the imitators are such obvious frauds. I can't think of anyone other than Van Gough or Beksinski who stand out as having such a unique and sole style that they literally can never be imitated without it being painfully obvious.
He was a genius! Truly!
I'd love to have been able to "pick his brain" and find out what his inspiration was that helped him create that style that was so recognizable. I came across a book of his art in a Half Price Books years back and have regretted not snagging it.
oh i bet i have that book ; )
