A short story

 A four page comic by Moebius I wanted to share,

some mild nudity here so viewer discretion is advised.

  I love how his comics can be confusing but can make sense upon later reflection

My finished comic.

Finally finished the comic I've been working on over the past month or so,  this is my first real attempt at sequential art (well, something over 10 pages), and while it's not all I hoped it would be I am fairly pleased with the outcome.

 I have undoubtedly learnt a hell of a lot about the art and science of making comics while working on this, which is the main thing, really.
overall, I've found the whole experience to be pretty challenging but ultimately highly rewarding.

                               comment and critique is highly appreciated,

Microscopy doodles

Went to Cavendish campus recently as a part of the interdisciplinary Microscopy project I'm participating in.

                            a few reportage sketches of the activities of the day

This is one of the most amazing short films I have ever seen, simply beautiful.

hard to believe it's all animated..

Comic pages.

                                         some WIP's out of sequence

Some finished pieces

 Stuff from the drawing module and a political cartoon from the summer project.

  For this piece on WW2 I had the idea of having a mushroom cloud which becomes the heads of these leaders. events like hiroshima were created by their wishes, now the bomb creates them.

                            

film poster project, tetsuo doesn't actually visit the moon in the anime, it happens in the manga, heh..

yeah, It's Tony Hayward leaving a mess for his successor,   

           

Inspirations: Moebius

I discovered Moebius only a year or so ago, owing to european comics being something of a niche interest over here, which is sad, because these are some of the most beautiful and strange comics out there.
I suppose this is a consequence of the perception that comics are an undeveloped and puerile medium, and not seen as the artform they truly are, unlike the high esteem the Franco-Belgian audience hold them (where comics are known as the 9th Art).

Moebius is probably best known for the fantastical worlds he creates which are surreal and otherworldly, my favorite piece by him would be Arzach, a silent comic which is very dreamlike in it's storytelling

I love how fluid his lines are and the use of strong colours here, it all feels so effortless...
