I absolutely love this guys work, always have. Probably most well known for his work on the Alien series, but he's produced some wonderful surreal/sci-fi art.

RIP :(

Yea it is a shame, My favourite of his work was probably the artwork he did for Dark Seed I and II

Can't say I was honestly aware he was still alive. But his influence in video games and movies could not be ignored, and was almost always appreciated. So this is sad. Dying from a freaking fall. Ugh

He really did create and engaging atmosphere with his work. I liked the albums covers he worked on.

Artist who take one overall theme and apply it to various media are interesting to me.
