I’m sure many folks here have seen the multitude of sketches, prints, art works and movies based on H. R. Giger’s work here on the Internet. One such famous work I’m also sure that does come into mind for all of you is the infamous Xenomorph from the movie “Alien” including all of the other Alien derivatives that had spawned off of that. Now you get to witness the genius behind all of those creepy, weird and mainly mind-blowing works of art and creatures that continue to thrill us. And in some cases make us want to use them for furniture such as this “Alien Coffee Table“.
If any of you are wondering when this little video was taken…it was during the production for the movie “Species II” which was chock-full of Giger works and characters.
Push play or watch it off of Youtube!
