CONDITIONS/PERMISSIONS
---------------------------------------------------------

I did this because I admire H.R.Gigers' artwork.  I have no right to use
his art without his permission but I don't think he would mind since these
images are available freely on the web at www.giger.com.  So please don't 
use this in any commercial way without obtaining Mr. Gigers' permission.
