Widely considered the most popular sci-fi/fantasy artist in the world, H. R. Giger is known for his singular ability to meticulously render horrific yet irresistible otherworlds, complete with curious biomorphic figures engaging in mysterious melodramas. Harlan Ellison has called the famous Swiss artist and film designer “our latter-day Hieronymus Bosch,” a judgment confirmed by the new edition of this beautifully designed calendar. Giger’s singular blend of the demonic and the erotic is well-displayed in these 12 large-format works. The calendar grids are printed in colors matching the work for that month, and they are set against a deep black background that foregrounds Giger’s highly detailed, elegant approach to his craft. This year’s edition of the calendar features a number of previously unpublished images — of both paintings and sculptures — while also showcasing some old favorites from this modern master.

Pages are black.,

This review is from: The 2009 H. R. Giger Calendar (Calendar)
The pages are black, that the days/numbers are on, so it is worthless if you intend to use the calendar to keep appts. or mark days (Unless I suppose you use a white marker). Also the pictures are pretty lame. The December page is like the only good pic and I guess the ELP cover. Giger has other great images they could have used , but maybe they were trying to avoid duplication of pictures in past calendars. They do however put little captions about cool, interesting people and artists every couple days.

This review is from: The 2009 H. R. Giger Calendar (Calendar)
The cover is exactly like the year 2000 calendar. Are the contents the same too? I don't want to buy the same exact calender again with just a different year printed on it. If someone knows, please post for me :)

Excellent calendar!,
This review is from: The 2009 H. R. Giger Calendar (Calendar)
H.R. Giger always produces such beautiful calendars, and this year, he made sure to not disappoint! The artwork in Giger's 2009 calendar is great.
