The most somber piece I've seen from you. The passing of our influences is a powerful thing. But I guess that means it's up to us, the inspired, to continue to do just that.... inspire.
Nice one Dave.

Thanks man and agreed. I may do something more playful with a moebius theme sometime, but was kind of in shock when I heard the news.

Nice of you to say. Had to draw something, no matter how quickly, to express a little of how I feel about the news.

We will miss him in an almost bearable way thanks to the fact that he was such an inspiration for such a lot of great artists.

Fortunately he left a large and wonderful legacy behind... but agreed, he should be allowed to just keep on creating!

Only learned this with your piece, Dave... I first learned of Moebius' work through the pages of Heavy Metal, which I purchased nearly from the beginning of the U.S. edition, back in High School, and I was always most impressed (and influenced) by his wildly wonderful work. Your tribute piece shows just how much his work meant to you. Beautiful, the ghostly rider Arzak, flying off...

Sorry to be a bearer of such bad news . His sequential work was fascinating and wonderful, but I loved his single image stuff even more.. sometimes felt like there was a thousand stories locked away in a single piece of work and it would be up to my own imagination to fill them out. Totally inspiring stuff!

Agreed! At one time, I was even trying to draw like him, the clean lines with the hash-y speckled shading! (Laughing!) I'm one of those "learn-by-imitation" people! Cheers, Roger
