The Bakalite

Anyone that knows me fairly well knows that Moebius is a pretty huge artistic influence to me. I was thumbing back through The Airtight Garage and the moderately insignificant character of The Bakalite seemed to stand out, so I decided to give him a draw. People familiar with Mr. Giraud's work know that he is the master of head-wear, and the Bakalite is no exception to this rule.

Peep out my drawing of him and his.... pets?:

Awesome. I had a chance to see him in the USA at CTN expo. He seemed pretty down to earth. Exactly what you hope see from an old legend.

That'd've been cool.

Aaaaah, such a good decision Buster. Mobeus's stippling is replaced with crosshatching.
