"Wernher Von Braun in Mission Control, Houston; Apollo XI" (July, 1969) by Franklin McMahon references Astro-eunuchs (work 71) (1967) by HR Giger references (or is it the other way around)?

 

 

Leading from 

Astro-Eunuchs (work 71) (1967) by HR Giger

and

   "Pilot in Cockpit' (work 380) (1978) by HR Giger  

 

 

a) Astro-eunuchs (work 71) (1967) by HR Giger

b) "Wernher Von Braun in Mission Control, Houston; Apollo XI" (July, 1969) by Franklin McMahon? 

 

 

c) The two side by side ,with Astro-Eunuchs on its right side

"Okay, Houston ... we've had a problem here"! 

Yes, well Giger's work was done in 1967 and then the drawing of Wernher is supposed to be from 1969 during the Apollo mission. 

Was the Von Braun drawing done a few years earlier and the relabled. 

I can't imagine McMahon trying to do his best to make his drawing conform to Giger's Astro-Eunuchs even if I think the Giger might have caught the attention of Kubrick's wife. 

So I'm aware of that problem and if the McMahon came after, I think that Giger must have foreseen the drawing of Von Braun by McMahon in a bewildering way. 

So I want continue with the idea that the drawing of Wernher came first and was being shared around by the art community in a mysterious way. even if Giger wasn't a specific member of one back then. I'm confused as the next person would be. 

But because of when both pieces have been offocially dated, we have to look at the idea that McMahon influenced by Giger's drawing instead.

Never the less it seems as if Giger would capitalise on their similarity when he would come to design th character known as the Space Jockey in the movie Alien.

 

 

 

 d) The upper half of Giger's astronaut witth sheah like backpack form that becomes the top of Wernher's head

 

 e) First of all, it's as if the character that Giger drew with a mask and breathing tube at the front the front of the parted hair on Wernher's head with the strands of hair down the side of the forehead

 

 

f) The shape of the top of the cranium of the character becomes Wernher's forehead beneath the front of the hair  

 

  

 

 

g) A lower arm becomes Wernher's shoulder line on the right,  while the handle bars becomes the ear of the man to Wernher's right

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

h) An arm holding a syringe becomes a collar of the man sitting to the right of Wernher becomes 

 

 

 

i) A leg like form of the end character with an arm holding the syringe becomes Wernher's lower arm

 

.

 

 

 

j) The lower back of the sheath like form becomes Wernher's colla

 

 

 

 

 

k) The opening of this sheath like form becomes the upper back of Wernher's head.
