HR GIger:Mordor VII (work 283) (1975) by HR Giger was referenced in photograph of comedian/ actor Adrian Edmondson dressed in fancy dress as Giger’s Alien, for his book “How to be a Complete Bastard” (published 1986)?

Leading from

Giger's Mordor vii (work 283) 

and

How To Be A Complete Bastard (1986) by Adrian Edmondson P 66 “Completely OFFENSIVE Fancy Dress”

a) Giger’s Mordor VII (work 283) (1975) 

b) Referenced in photograph of comedian/ actor Adrian Edmondson dressed in fancy dress as Giger’s Alien, for his book “How to be a Complete Bastard” (published 1986) (Thanks to Jason Hood in the Building Better Worlds group for posting the image )

It is hard to say that the picture of Adrian Edmondson was based upon the Mordor VII creature but at least it looks to me as if Giger would compare it to that because of the way it was leaning backwards when he would develop a painting later partly inspired by the connection he might have seen.

c) The two side by side with the image of Adrian Edmondson reversed

d) Bendy limb with hand becomes the leg

e) Face with pipe connected to the nasal orifice becomes Adrian Edmondson’s face with the tube sticking out of his mouth

f) The shoulder of fbe biomechanoid becomes his shoulder, nd a glass tube becomes his arm.
