Omni Magazine Art work?

Question

Can someone tell me the name of the Sci Fi artist that periodically showed up in Omni Magazine between the years 1978 - 1982. I'm specifically interested in the artwork that would depict enormous spacecraft or spacestations as well as space vehicals with enormous wheels, the wheeled spacecraft would usually be depicted rolling around alien landscapes. These pictures were usually NOT the front cover art

Wow... that took me on a trip in the way-back machine. I found a discussion page on OMNI here http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Omni_%28magazine%29&action=history
and you might find someone there who has that info or can help you find it. Let me know if you find out - that work inspired me greatly back then. I remember thinking the animated movie "set" for "ALIEN" was or must have been created by the same artist... found this on the ALIEN site "The imaginative and fantastic settings (and the hostile, slime-dripping Alien creature itself) were conceived and created by Swiss surrealist designer and painter H. R. Giger and Heavy Metal French artist Moebius (Jean Giraud)"

The name Giger sounds familiar, does that ring any bells?
