Oh... hello there. I wasn't really expecting anyone. Not really sure what I want to do here at the moment but in the meantime why not go and listen to my radio show or watch one of my short films...

Illustrations by Jean “Moebius” Giraud

Jean Giraud (1938 - 2012) was a French artist, cartoonist and writer who worked in the Franco-Belgian bandes dessinées (comics) tradition. Giraud garnered worldwide acclaim predominantly under the pseudonym Moebius and to a lesser extent Gir.  His most famous works include the series Blueberry, created with writer Jean-Michel Charlier, featuring one of the first anti-heroes in Western comics. As Moebius, he created a wide range of science fiction and fantasy comics in a highly imaginative, surreal, almost abstract style. Moebius also contributed storyboards and concept designs to numerous science fiction and fantasy films, such as Alien, Tron, The Fifth Element and The Abyss. Giraud died in Paris, on 10 March 2012, aged 73, after a long battle with cancer.

The invisibility effect was achieved by having someone in a bright red suit (because it was the farthest opposite of the green of the jungle and the blue of the sky) the size of the Predator. The red was removed with chroma key techniques, leaving an empty area. The take was then repeated without the actors using a 30% wider lens on the camera. When the two takes were combined optically, the jungle from the second take filled in the empty area. Because the second take was filmed with a wider lens, a vague outline of the alien could be seen with the background scenery bending around its shape. (x)

Hi, do you have any advice on how to break through a creativity block?

It may simply mean that the thing you’re focussed on working on isn’t ready to be worked on yet.  Do something else.  Write some letters/emails and trick yourself into writing a tumblr post or something afterwards.  Make a meal you’ve never made before.  Make a mixtape or whatever your preferred digital version of that is.  Go to http://www.oblicard.com/ and use the little reload button in the bottom left corner until you hit something that has meaning for you.  Turn off the internet, read a book, .listen to music, let yourself get bored and empty.  Put away what you’re working on right now and lock it in a drawer for two weeks.  Invite your most brilliant friend over, kill them, find and eat their adrenal glands and then wear their skin as a shamanic cloak until the next full moon.  Strap cats to every part of your body and tell everyone your new name is Pussy Fang Dervish.  If you live in a city, go to nature.  If you live in nature, go to a city.  Buy a cheap notebook and write down every stupid idea you’ve ever had.  And then write down the five most important things you want to achieve once the block is broken.  And then stand up, remind yourself that your name is Pussy Fang Dervish and you can do anything, and then go and give it another try.

And good luck!  This, too, will pass.

Excellent advice that applies to many creative endeavors

Already a hero.  Just became even more so...

I wanted to put these comics about spending time with my baby nephew in one place.  He is my little round pal!  He barfs a lot.

As great as Kate Beaton's funny historical parodies are, I think my favourite things are her autobiographical family comics.  I hope she collects them in a proper volume one day
