I say go the fuck away dialup, because feel it necessary to put up photos of his art.

Fuck, this sucks.
This guy really was fucking brilliant. The Xenomorph design remains to this day probably one of the most inspired pieces of artwork in Hollywood - the perfect combination of goth, sexuality and violence. It really elevated Alien beyond the typical "creature feature", and honestly I don't think I've seen a more compelling design for an extraterrestrial life form to this day.
Game over man... game over, indeed.

A wickedly imaginative man who created some truly iconic and unsettling imagery. RIP.
Yeah, I've always taken the subtext of the Birther movement to be, "The rules don't count here! This is different! HE'S BLACK! BLACK, I SAY! ARE YOU ALL BLIND!?

Also a very disturbed man. He suffered from night terrors (a major influence in his art; he kept a sketchpad by his bed to put down the things he saw) and supposedly shot heroin in an attempt to reduce their intensity.
Hopefully wherever he is, he's enjoying a good night's sleep.

I did not know that. Makes sense though unfortunately, it's often the case for gifted people to carry some baggageKuja wrote:Also a very disturbed man.

RIP. Spookily enough, that's the third celebrity in a row that died just days after I had looked them up on Wikipedia on a whim (the first two were Roger Ebert and Michael Clarke Duncan). Gotta' look up the Koch brothers next.
Is it impious for me to say that when he fell down the stairs I half expected his corpse at the bottom to look like Wilbur Whateley's?

People at birth are naturally good. Their natures are similar, but their habits make them different from each other.

Do us a favor, Meta. Look up Justin Bieber and Michelle Bachmann on Wikipedia please.
You will be assimilated...bunghole!
