H.R. Giger, painter and set designer extraordinar. I love his nightmarish, slightly grotesque style of imagery. There's a very distinct sci-fi veneer with almost all of his work which initially drew me to research him; after discovering he was the man behind the "Alien" design. His work has just as much chance of creating a sense of awe as it does to revolt you. He's got a knack for making the viewer feel uncomfortable, something I can appreciate.
