I don\u2019t remember the first piece of Moebius\u2019 artwork I saw. I just remember looking at it and thinking Wow. It very well might have been the Silver Surfer since I associate his artwork with the character so strongly. But I remember that after that I knew when I saw his artwork. <\/p>\n

He did a lot of work in the film industry as well. His drawings were always fascinating to look at and then really look at. There was a lot to look at. <\/p>\n

When Peter and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary, we lucked into a trip that took us to a Star Trek convention in Italy and a series of comic book shop signings in Paris. The owner of the comic book shops arranged for us to have lunch with Moebius.<\/p>\n

He was delightful. A witty raconteur with a million stories to tell. We talked about art, comics, film, television and many other topics. It was one of those meals that goes on and on but you hope it won\u2019t end because you are having so much fun. He found out that that Peter and I were celebrating our first anniversary and that I was pregnant with my first child. So he drew us this<\/p>\n

\n(For the VI: this is a picture of the Marvel Character the Silver Surfer holding his surfboard standing on sand. The Surfer (on the right) is done in blue pencil. The surfboard(on the left) is red with a white strip down the middle.)<\/p>\n

It was quite appropriate for our first anniversary since it is made of paper.<\/p>\n

We have treasured both it and the memories of that lovely afternoon at a bistro in Paris talking with Moebuis and other artists about all kinds of topics that we found interesting.<\/p>\n

I am grateful that I got to meet Moebius especially under such wonderful circumstances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
