The extraordinary world of Moebius

This shot of a living sculpture reminded me of one of my favorite comic strip artists so I named it after his Science Fiction pen name. Unfortunately I just found out last night that he passed away last weekend. :(

 

I got the chance to meet him about 30 years ago and he was terrific, very friendly and generous.

RIP mon ami.

At The Philadelphia International Flower Show.

 

Please check out my set for the show.

I'm not happy at all with the eyelashes result, but it's my first try doing it with acrilics and not watercolors pencinls. Next time will be better, I guess! ♥

The hovercraft "Moebius" is named after the french artist I drew my inspiration from for this and other works.

It crashlanded somewhere in the Arctic but luckily the pilot is not alone and well equipped to handle the situation.

 

The arctic setting is actually just an excuse for the snowflakes, I did not want do scrub them off.

And the 9 children (his 3 sons and the 6 sons of the new husband of his ex-wife) are playing flute ...

 

Der Physiker Moebius gibt vor, daß ihm König Salomo erscheine. "Ich kenne Salomo von Angesicht zu Angesicht. Er ist nicht mehr der große goldene König. - nackt und stinkend kauert er in meinem Zimmer als der arme König der Wahrheit und seine Psalmen sind schrecklich."

Und die 9 Buben (seine 3 Söhne und die 6 Söhne des 2. Ehemanns seiner Ex-Frau) spielen Blockflöte....

Möbius zieht eine Show ab um seine Familie zu vergraulen:

"Ein Psalm Salomos, den Weltraumfahrern zu singen.

Wir hauten ins Weltall ab. Zu den Wüsten des Monds. Versanken in ihrem Staub. Lautlos verreckten manche schon da.

Doch die meisten verkochten in den Bleidämpfen des Merkurs, lösten sich auf in den Ölpfützen der Venus, und sogar auf dem Mars fraß uns die Sonne, donnernd, radioaktiv und gelb.

Jupiter stank, ein pfeilschnell rotierender Methanbrei, hing er so mächtig über uns, daß wir Ganymed vollkotzten. Saturn bedachten wir mit Flüchen.

Was dann weiter kam, nicht der Rede wert: Uranus, Neptun graugrünlich erfroren. Über Pluto und Transpluto fielen die letzten unanständigen Witze. Hatten wir doch längst die Sonne mit Sirius verwechselt, Sirius mit Kanopus, abgetrieben, trieben wir in die Tiefen hinauf einigen weißen Sternen zu, die wir gleichwohl nie erreichten, längst schon Mumien in unseren Schiffen verkrustet von Unrat - In den Fratzen kein Erinnern mehr - an die atmende Erde."

(Dürrenmatt, Friedrich: Die Physiker S.34, 35)

CROSSVIEW

To view 3D pics cross your eyes focusing between at the pictures until both images overlap one another in the middle.

Per vedere le foto in 3D incrociare (strabuzzare) gli occhi fino a che le due immagini si sovrappongono formandone una sola centrale.

 

So many pieces. The stars for the shorts are decals - so you don't have to paint those...just everything else needs paint.
