Happy Birthday Moebius

Joyeux anniversaire! Jean Giraud (Moebius). Born on this day in 1938, Jean first came to prominence in his native France drawing the western adventures of Lieutenant Blueberry, written by Jean-Michel Charlier for the magazine Pilote. In the 70s though his fame spread worldwide with his alternative, surreal visions using the name Moebius in the magazine he co-created, Metal Hurlant. Above is a sketch I have in my collection that he did on a visit to Toronto in 1987.

Hogtown Jaz

Hogtown Jaz: The Perfect Fall Guy was the first graphic novel I put online. It was not actually done in a traditional comic book format but rather designed to look like a wide screen movie with copy placed beneath the panel. My original inspiration was Steranko's "Chandler" graphic novel "Red Tide" but this story was set in the present.

Code Name:Pearl pg 54

Here's the final version of page 54. After inking I scanned in the page and added the color in Photoshop. The word balloons and sound effects were added in Indesign.

Illustration

I recently finished illustrating a project for the American Wire Rope Fabricators under the direction of Unirope president Knut Buschman, a wonderful guy and pleasure to work with. Most of the drawings were done to show the proper procedures when testing cables used in the construction industry but Knut asked for a final "goodbye" illustration as well.
