The ground-breaking and highly influential French artist Jean "Moebius" Giraud has passed away.
I can certainly see his influence in great stylists like Walt Simonson.
Rest in peace.

What a terrific, influential artist. His work definitely showed many artists that sticking to your own style not only set you apart, it added a layer of storytelling.
RIP

He was amazing. As impactful and epic as Kirby, but in a totally different way. His freaky concepts were inspiring in a "I challenge you to think outside the box" kinda way.
Awesome, awesome artist...

Sad. He was in a league of his own in the art world.

The industry has lost so many great talents lately. Sad news. Thanks for all the startling and graceful images.

I loved Mobius and collected so many of his publications back in the day.

I hope his heaven is as wild, strange and beautiful as he imagined everything else to be.
