Who is your favourite visual artist, be it a painter, sculptor, photographer, and why? Assuming its appropriate, feel free to share some of their work.
It's kinda hard to pick since I love so many different artists and styles, but I think that if I had to pick it would be H.R. Giger. I'm sure everyone here knows some of his work, whether or not they realize it. Ever seen an Alien movie? Well, he designed the Alien. I'm into venereal horror, and its easy to say he defined that style. His artwork is very organic and he often uses subconscious sexual imagery, often perverted by his organic themes, to tap some sort of primal fear. This makes it kinda hard to show much of his work here because a lot of it has nudity or imagery one might find offensive, sometimes he's a little more subtle but I don't want to push my luck with some of his more 'subconscious' works, but here are a couple that should be forum appropriate. One just to show off his detail, and the other was made for "Alien," hardcore Alien fans will recognize it as the mysterious "Space Jockey".
