@Patrice__Garcia @SimonColes55226 It doesn't ring a bell. Then again, I don't remember much.

@Luckylucydach @itspetergabriel Cognitive dissonance may be at the origin of your question. In fact, who is killing the other into oblivion? Actions speak louder than rhetoric.
It's the old biblical tale of the mote and the beam.

@DesigningFilm It's called "being bored, waiting for a meeting with the director & over-noodling to pass the time..." This level of cross hatching might give budding illustrators the illusion that overdrawing is necessary. It's only a good idea when thinking about seeing your work published.

@pramsey342 We need to remember to preface : "the US has permitted for"...

@CalltoActivism Speeches are just speeches; written by teams of writers to push buttons and address nonbinding talking points. My thoughts are that I am tired: the more I learn and understand the cancer that is the lobbies & interests groups, the more I know we're headed for societal disaster.

@briebriejoy I wasn't sure what's more despairing: her cynicism - that cold, calculated unapologetic demagoguery, preaching empty slogans from the pulpit to a sea of mesmerized plebs - or the fact that so many fanatics have no idea that they're being hypnotized by a stale old magic show...

@LloydChery22 @Space_Boxer1 @clubdeletoile @_MetalHurlant Tu veux quoi comme histoire courte? J'en ai peut être une... Et c'est sur Mœbius en plus. Mais le problème chez Métal c'est qu'ils veulent toujours faire signer des contrats US pour esquiver les règles du droit d'auteur Français... Sinon je l'aurais fait il y longtemps.

@Space_Boxer1 @clubdeletoile @_MetalHurlant @LloydChery22 Honnêtement, ça n'est pas pour moi tout ça. C'est une période révolue de ma vie. Je travaille sur mes projets. Mais le monde ne manque pas de jeunes talents pour reptendre les séries classiques.

@amandalehmann25 @HackettOfficial @tenacitymusicpr @PRConnect I understand. I first saw Steve's band in 1980. When you join the lineup, your voice, guitar playing (doubling-up), but most of all your energy transforms the band, very much for the better. Energy accounts for so much. I should see the band in the UK more often. 🙂

@PhilCollinsFeed @OfficialBrandX There's a great track by the bass player Percy Jones who people often described as "the soul of Brand X" and who's been cut out of the picture on the right, and it's called "Unorthodox Behaviour". That's my favorite.

@PhilCollinsFeed @OfficialBrandX Running on Three, Malaga Virgen, Dance of the Illegal Aliens...

@MMFlint Don't you think it's about the fact he can no longer win, before we even debate if he should?

[Sylvain Despretz @The_Metaprogram]

@MrBitterwitter @westonfront @neilaglet I certainly have the time but I don't have the memory. It looks familiar and I had something to do with it but I can't remember what. The green color looks clumsy so I have to assume that Mœbius isn't to blame for it. It must have been one of our first tests.

[Sylvain Despretz @The_Metaprogram]

@westonfront @iffypopireland I didn't on this one. His technique on this type of thing consisted of drawing in ink, then masking the elements so as to airbrush a couple of color areas. He used acrylic dyes (similar to FWs in the US, Magicolors in France) and then detailed the rest of the color with a brush.

@blauereiter Here it is, just in case.

[Sylvain Despretz @The_Metaprogram]

@blauereiter You probably know this but astute observers will note that Zack Snyder paid homage to this shot in his "Sucker Punch" using the same actress, Jena Malone, several years older. In his version, the girls are sitting, having a conversation in front of a vanity mirror...
