An Artistic Passing

   Swiss born artist H.R Giger has died, a day after having a fall. Although he started out as an industrial designer, he quickly turned to art. He was probably best known for the creature in the sci-fi film "Alien" (for which he won an Oscar in 1979 for special effects), and had a flair for bio-mechanical art, like the example above.
   That, in turn, spawned an enduring fashion for bio-mechanical tattoos.
   Hans Ruedi Giger was 74.
