HR Giger"Im Kern grbt sich Gigers Kunst in die Psyche ein und berhrt unsere tief sitzenden, urzeitlichen Instinkte und ngste. Seine Kunst bildet eine Kategorie fr sich. Der Beweis dafr liegt in der Intensitt seines Werks und seiner Vorstellungskraft, die ich in der Fhigkeit, zu provozieren und zu verstren, nur mit Hieronymus Bosch und Francis Bacon vergleichen kann."

"Im Kern gräbt sich Gigers Kunst in die Psyche ein und berührt unsere tief sitzenden, urzeitlichen Instinkte und Ängste. Seine Kunst bildet eine Kategorie für sich. Der Beweis dafür liegt in der Intensität seines Werks und seiner Vorstellungskraft, die ich in der Fähigkeit, zu provozieren und zu verstören, nur mit Hieronymus Bosch und Francis Bacon vergleichen kann." - Ridley Scott Der Schweizer Künstler HR Giger (1940-2014) wurde vor allem durch seine Oscar-prämierte Gestaltung des Weltraummonsters für Ridley Scotts Science-Fiction-Film Alien (1979) berühmt. Rückblickend betrachtet war dies nur das prominenteste Wesen aus Gigers umfangreichem Arsenal biomechanischer Geschöpfe , das konsequent Hybride von Mensch und Maschine zu Bildern von eindringlicher Kraft und dunkler Psychedelik verschmolz. Diese Bilder verliehen den kollektiven Ängsten einer Epoche Ausdruck : Angst vor dem Atomkrieg, vor Überbevölkerung und Ressourcenknappheit sowie einer Zukunft, in der unser Überleben von Maschinen abhängt . Die visionäre Kraft dieser Bilder spielt mit den Dämonen der Vergangenheit und erzeugt zugleich Mythen für die Zukunft. Dieses Opus Magnum, kurz vor seinem unerwarteten Tod begonnen, huldigt Gigers einzigartiger Vision. Es erzählt die vollständige Geschichte seines Lebens und seiner Kunst , zeigt seine Skulpturen , Filmarbeiten und legendären Plattencover sowie das Erbe, das er in seinem eigenen Künstlermuseum und seiner selbst entworfenen Bar in den Schweizer Alpen hinterlassen hat. In seinem Essay setzt sich der Giger-Experte Andreas J. Hirsch intensiv mit den Themen von Gigers Werk und seiner Welt auseinander. Der Band enthält zahlreiche Dokumente aus Gigers Archiv, Zitate von Zeitgenossen sowie eine umfangreiche Künstlerbiografie , die sich auf zeitgenössische Stimmen und Gigers eigene Aufzeichnungen stützt.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me. I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol

oh wow
Format: Kindle
I just knew there was something about Cooper! I’m wondering if he’s about to be included but damn I’m glad he’s at least not a rapist and creepy guy, he just got called on assignment and had to go! This should be interesting! She’s gonna run and then what’s his face is gonna grab her. I’m worried! Wow that was a great book and cliffhanger! Loving this!

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat. It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.
