Farewell Jean Giraud (1938 – 2012)

I didn’t really grow up with his art as it was hard to find here in America.
But that made it so much more of a treat when I did eventually get to see
his work or get my hands on a book (or movie) he worked on.

Many of his works were a bit “out there,” thus my sketch, which makes no
sense beyond me trying to ape the look of a Moebius illustration.
A pointless task.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Jean Giraud 1938 - 2012

I find it impossible to be objective about Jean "Moebius" Giraud. If he had only ever drawn cowboys , he would still have been one of the greatest comic artists who has ever lived. He drew so much more than that though, he drew the future, he drew our dreams.

Moebius

Been a while! As I'm wrapping up my book, all I wanna do is grab a big tub of popcorn and uh, relax. It felt so so goddamn good to draw something that wasn't related in any way shape or form to health care.

And hey, my super talented assistant Blue Delliquanti has submitted her own take on this! Blue is a recent graduate of Franklin (a US school in Switzerland) who saved my ass this summer by doing some heavy lifting on the art chores of the health care book. If anyone needs an assistant she is absolutely top-notch! I'll be posting a few drawings of hers in the coming days and weeks, I'm sure.


Going to come down to NYC in September and again in October before I cross the big pond, hoping I can have a real live drawbridge session soon!

See Tim's post below for why we're all doing a riff on Moebius' Starwatcher cover.
I'm a HUGE fan of Moebius...which should be pretty obvious really.
