Spend a day away from news and social media and look at what happens. Anyways, the influential artist has died after complications from a fall he suffered. His style and artwork were influential across a wide range of media and games. A true artist that stands alone. I'll be knocking one back for him today.

He was assuredly the root change of Sci FI aliens moving from bug eyed men in rubber suit monsters to something, well...alien. :D

Yeah very talented dude. I had a book of his artwork, and well, it was disturbing. Lots of condoms, babies, dildos, and aliens. At least, that is what I saw a lot of. Nevertheless, no idea where we'd be without his influence. He did some cool shit.
