I've got a couple of his art books. I love his style, but I'd hate to have the dreams he must have had. RIP.

Very sad

He'd been one of my favourite living artists and his design style is a huge influence, even on me. It actually sort of bugs me that people reduce him to just being the "guy who designed the Alien" because there's very much more to his work.
