You beat me to it. FYI if you wanna see the set of the movie just look up HR Giger. I counted 6 of his paintings in that trailer.

Well, that makes sense since he is the one that designed the aliens in the first place. He is by far my favorite modern artist.

I love his work also. Its all very sexual. Its kinda like a dark Dali. With that being said I also like Luis Royo and Frank Frazetta.

Then it must not have his older work or something if you dont see the sexual undertones.

Indeed. Used to be for sure. But I'm an artist by trade. I have a good excuse lol. They are no where near as good as they were in the early 90's and late 80's.

No they aren't, indeed. I picked one up on a whim about 3 months back. Disappointing. HM 2000 marked the start of their decline.

The last one I picked up was basicly just cartoon porn. I mean if the art was good ok. I can dig that. But the art sucked too. Thier decline started when Julie Bell started doing covers. Boris was bad enough.

That about sums it up, too. Cartoon porn.

It's called a Phronima. And since it's from nature, I'm pretty sure it pre-dates the 70's.

It even lays its eggs in a barrel.

BumbleBee, you seriously can't see the sexual undertones in any of those images?
BumbleBee
12-23-2011, 09:27 PM
of course but his art book on the Aliens movie has none at all.

I thought you were just contesting the idea that any of his work was sexual.

So, a creature that rapes your face, and then blows is load down your throat to be hatched later as a walking penis isn't sexual to you? The original Alien a had a LOT of sexual undertones to it, in fact when it killed Lambert, it was originally supposed to be raping her with it's tail, you can see it going up her leg, then you hear her breathe heavy, moaning, then she dies. That part was toned down.
I personally can't wait for this movie. Looks like they FINALLY shook off the cheesy crap that was Alien 3 and 4 and went back to the horror roots.

googled him as you suggested, and just realised that the back of the alien's head was originally a penis
