Belatucadrus Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 What do you get when an architect suffering night terrors tries to exorcise his demons through art. H R Giger creator of the Alien and the hybrid from Species, his art is if anything even more extreme. Warning those of you who thought Brom was a bit much would be advised to avoid clicking on the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 What on earth inspires someone to produce something like that! :0 Look at this and the Night terrors comment may provide the answer. Even I'd be loathe to have that lot traipsing through my imagination as I fell asleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 About 20 years ago the 15 year old of a close friend was gifted at drawing and painting. He suddenly developed phobias about violence, death and ghoulish things in his paintings. It eventually became an obsession and when he was 22 due to extreme violence against his parents and others, he had to be sectioned. After about 4 years he came back home but in less than a year had to be locked away again. I have lost touch with my old friend and don't know what the situation is now.I suppose it is not fair to base it on a small sample - but I have a belief that extremely weird and graphic art involving violence, death, the occult or unnatural things must be the result of a twisted mind. Many such people over the years have, like my friend's son, practiced what they painted and had to be locked away.However - I cannot deny that I have to admire their technical skills even though the content is unpalatable.

Belatucadrus Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Some body has been watching Aliens too much. Is that actually possible ? Watching Aliens 24/7 IMHO is vastly safer and less liable to cause terminal brain rot than ten minutes of Big Brother or any similar reality TV.
