When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, originally, I decided to pseudo-adopt the persona of Ripley from Alien3. It sorta made sense. I'm a bald chick fighting against a nasty mother bitch growing in my chest. Metaphor aside, since my hair has come off, I've had a few people say I look like Ripley, so it kinda works on a few levels.

Anyway, I really do feel empowered to think of myself in this character. The only problem is . . . well . . . Ripley always dies trying to take down the alien queen. It's starting to piss me off a little bit.

As a result, I've decided that I want to hire an artist to illustrate a different ending to this story. The problem is, I don't know anyone who has ever attempted to replicate the style of Giger. It wouldn't have to be exact, but I DO want it to be clean and recognizable.

Does anybody have any suggestions on an artist to try?

Thanks.

I'll do it.

That would be freakin' awesome.

On a completely unrelated note, you wouldn't want a copy of The Golden Plates: The Comic Book, would you? I was given it as a gag gift, and I'm throwing out all my stuff. I really can't figure out anything to do with it.

This goes for everyone else. If I don't hear a bid in the next 24 hours, it goes in the recycling bin with all of my wig catalogs.

sure I'll take it, and any other comic related material you're willing to part with

The comics have been donated. But I'll find you something cool instead.
