Updates 2013-18

30th April 2017
1) Added: Giger's Landscape (work 404) (1978) references Radio Times' Billy Smarts Children's Circus cartoon?
2) I'm having a thought that Giger became enthusiastic about the Shark Submarine from "The Adventures of Tintin: Red Rackham's Treasure". It is something that he surely would have liked. Perhaps he incorporated elements of it into his derelict ship in some way, but I am having trouble seeing exactly in what way. Perhaps there rows of vertical lines like shark gills. Perhaps shapes roughly similar to the cockpit canopy, perhaps the idea of the frame work, perhaps rough forms almost like shark fins but I am no sure. But I would like to see something a bit more definite, or perhaps it's not. So this one is up in the air indeed or even underwater somewhere
