Moebius/Jean Giraud passed away today...




JeanHenriGastonGiraud/Moebius/Gir
(8 May 1938 – 10 March 2012)

It is very hard to express how much he meant to me as an artist and surely to several generations of artists around the globe.
He constantly reinvented himself throughout his long and prolific career and has been part or influenced some of the most iconic movies of all time such as Alien, Tron, Blade Runner, the Abyss... etc as well as being an amazing comic book artist and illustrator (The Incal, Arzach, Blueberry...).
I still can't believe he's gone but he will without any doubt continue to influence generations of artists to come...
