If they have to write an essay about the art to define what I'm looking at, then they are a creative writer, not a visual artist.

I should be able to look at a piece, and get something out of it. Good feelings or bad, it should evoke something that makes me want to be part of it. Edward Munch and Francis Bacon, hell even HR Giger didn't make art that was feel good, but their works are amazing and evoke emotions that stay with you.

206? Ouch.
But my comment was more general: things I think won't make it may skyrocket (HR Giger, scary robot), while others I consider a slam dunk will stutter or tank (Black Sabbeth, Manborg).
Due to The Sift's community size, I suspect a lot of it as more to do with timing than anything else, tho.

FAKE!!! Clearly a viral video for the next Ridley Scott / HR Giger collaboration.

Ha! I was looking at the floor but now these light sabers are spinning on my fingers!!! Take that, hybrid of Darth Vader and HR Giger's alien!

Ahh, HR Giger, dreamweaver.

I think you will like this I love his art

Also, check out Aliens Quadrilogy DVD about HR Giger.

A common misconception made about HR Giger that he was involved with all the movies, but in actuality he was only involved with the Ridley Scott's Alien. With it in 1980, he received the Academy Award for "Best Achievement for Visual Effects" for his designs of the film's title creature and its otherworldly environment..

The James Cameron movie was more Cameron then anything else, Aliens 3 didn't even mention Mr Giger... I believe he ended up suing.

This reminds me of HR Giger (the artist who produced Aliens Xenomorphs & sets).
