He is the artist/photographer who worked with Rammstein on their Sehnsucht album as well as recent marilyn Manson stuff.. I think he is fantastic, but mainly because I have a soft spot for Nazi Imagery.. does anyone like his work?

that work is called Adoration of the Magi.. doesn't the baby look like Hitler..weird.

Anyway, you can see ALOT more here:

I saw his exhibition at the Lentos museum in Linz and was totally blown away. His work is just awesome, especially his pencil drawings. But his painted-over photographs are worth seeing as well.

Pretty creepy shit sometimes.

Its creepy but I like it. I'm going to try to go over to Ireland to see his exhibition.. I wish he would come to the UK =(

He emailed me to say he liked my photography which was a massive Ego trip for me.

that's cool stuff. He reminds me a lot of that artist floria sigismondi who directed manson's 'Beautiful People' video. Her photographs and art projects are sort of cool

Now that's wicked shit! I like the colors she uses a lot. Though I don't think Helnwein's work and hers are really comparable.

alisonmonster · 08-01-2006, 01:08 PM

those last two Lie posted are fairly similar to the stuff Floria does. I think the feeling in their works are similar but whatever. I like her alien people
