		Giger met Li in 1966 when she was eighteen and living with another man. However Giger moved into her attic apartment and in due course they became lovers.
		Giger painted Li's body several times with an airbrush and there are several photographs of her posing naked - like a woman of mystery struggling to emerge from the nightmare that has possessed her soul.
		Giger maintains that although he has studied occult literature, he is not a magician in the orthodox sense for he does not perform rituals, engage in invocations or summon spirits.

	The Shadowland Art Gallery
		Giger once said that while trying to pass through Dutch customs with a portfolio of his pictures, he was refused entry into the country.
		The phallic imagery, twisted and surrealistic, is one of Giger's hallmark motifs, as is the vaguely organic appearance of the background.
		In this painting, as in many Giger works, one is aware of an unnatural interaction between the organic and the inorganic; cyborg vitality as futuristic erotica.

	H.R. Giger Tarot, jk's review
		Giger didn’t like the idea of having to create an entirely new Tarot, partly because he had started to tire of painting, and partly because he knew the demands of such a project could be overwhelming.
		The Giger Emperor is on safari (as is obviously indicated by its title), and Giger’s dry (or desiccated) wit depicts the Macomberesque creature backpacking along the legless upper half of an ancient warrior.
		Giger himself sees the firearm as a kind of artistic-magickal tool, but the ambition to master it belongs, he would suggest, to something archaic in our nature, which can be quite dangerous if one is not aware of it.

		While it does contain many of Giger's paintings they are not the center of the book rather than a means of describing film design and offering a contrast between Giger's vision and the outcome of the film.
		Giger is an amazing artist, if you have not experienced his work than you are surely missing out on some of the most ORIGINAL artwork of this time.

	HR Giger talks to J. Karlin about the HR Giger Tarot
		Giger, the Swiss artist who has made an indelible mark on popular and fine-art cultures in the past thirty years, producing such seminal works as Necronomicon, and of course the creature and the look for Ridley Scott's Alien.
		Giger has said he paints what frightens him and his work has often had the effect of frightening viewers, sometimes unduly.
		Initially Akron wished to have Giger produce new images for this deck, but ultimately Giger felt that the work required to do justice to the effort was too much, and they instead chose to select the 22 Major Arcana from Giger's existing works.

	Wired News: Probing the Alien Artist's Mind
		In his parents' house, Giger would travel down "steep and treacherous wooden stairways that lead into the yawning abyss" of a courtyard in the back.
		In the series -- originally done on cardboard, and replicated on aluminum for his current show at the Fuse Gallery -- goggled, gun-toting fetuses are packed into cadaverous wombs; limbless, bound torsos stumble on rickety wheels down endless staircases.
		Giger was, at that point, a cult star for crafting perhaps the scariest movie monster of all time, the Alien, for which he won an Oscar in 1980.

		Giger did the cover for Emerson, Lake and Palmer's great albumn "Brain Salad Surgery" and that central image of a kind of "Lilith of the future" is both an emblem and a counter-emblem of his whole work.
		Giger has been a great inspiration on my artwork and I reccomend all of his books to anyone who has a strong stomach and loves any work having to do with death and HELL.His website is a very good spot to check out his work at www.hrgiger.com or at www.darkworlds.com.
		Giger's art inspires in me feelings of religious awe each time I enter his world of hellish mutilated misshapen figures writhing in an erotic dance among alien machines drawing me within the creative genius of his imaginative mind.

		Giger's troubled relationship with Hollywood studios who have ripped off his designs has obscured fruitful collaborations with musicians such as Deborah Harry, Celtic Frost, and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer.
		According to transpersonal psychologist Stanislav Grof, the allure of Giger's artwork is due to his extensive exploration of the human psyche's inner cartography.
		Giger's strange insectoid art-work also represents the evolutionary legacy of our collective unconsciousness, and must also be re-evaluated with the successful genome sequencing of the Drosophila melanogaster fruit fly by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory staff, according to the journal Science (March 24th, 2000).

		Giger, Kathi Christen, Adrienne Theimer "In order to blow away the utterly fl dust of the underworld, which covers everything, Giger uses the sharp spray of an airbrush..." (more)
		One of the few things I liked in the book was a sketch of a kid ringing a doorbell while another kid drops a guillotine blade toward the neck of the woman who stuck her head out the window to see who was at the door.
		The liquid, glossy motifs Giger uses are much more effective on a well-printed page than on a CRT, and it seems like every time I look at them, there's another nuance or detail or set of teeth or something that I hadn't noticed.
