ALEXI K - HOMAGE TO GIGER ( MK II, work in progress )

To round off this issue, I thought I'd update you on my contribution to the MONSTER CLUB show, which opens in Birmingham, UK, a week from now ( Friday November 7th ).

After a failed attempt at a Giger piece earlier this year ( which you can see by scrolling further down the blog ) , I was determined to do the great man justice.

This is the current state of the work-in-progress. It's labour-intensive, but you really have to put the hours in to get the 'Giger' look. By the time the next edition of MONOBLOG is out, we will know if I have accidentally ruined it by over-working ( very possible ), or if it's truly a fitting tribute to the mastermind that inspired ALIEN and PROMETHEUS. Come back next time to find out!

HR GIGER 1940 - 2014

Above: Li by HR Giger

One of the world's greatest and most unique artists has passed away. 

Hans Rudolf ( 'Ruedi' ) Giger was a huge influence on MONOBLOG, and to millions of other fans, artists and creatives around the world. 

For many, he was the gateway between fantasy art, film design, architecture, surrealism and contemporary art. RIP.
