Jean Girau a.k.a. Moebius dies

Wow, he was a great artist, def a inspiration to a lot of us here. He will be missed!

Ups... Will a moderator, please pretty please, move this to the "Alien" board? Thanx!

That's such bad news. I was watching a documentary yesterday called Other worlds . Its about Ayahuasca and ancient traditions, but had a great interview with moebius in it. He described a mushroom experience and how it took him a lifetime to assimilate it into his art . The film/ doc is by a french director called jan kounen who made a psychedelic film called Renegade / blueberry, ..an adaptation of a comic book also known as the psychedelic cowboy. his work was an inspiration to so many including ridley who has cited him for alien, and heavy metal, where his work was brought to the attention of many fans.

Moved to Alien Discussions. R.I.P Moebius

I tip my hat sir.....

R.I.P. to Moebius, an immensely talented and inspiring artist of modern times!

heavy metal was one of best story board pics

That's sad news. Has anybody seen the documentary 'Moebius Redux - A Life in Pictures' on BBC Four? Excellent programme. I've familiarised myself with his imagery over the past 30+ years through 'Heavy Metal' magazine issues courtesy of the info in the 'Book of Alien'. HM was and still is a superb and visionary source of inspiration for me too as an artist. The content within is how great sci-fi should be depicted. R.I.P. Moebius - he's keeping that other great futurist company now - Dan O'Bannon.
