Grazie @markrprior
@SFRuminations
nice to see a Segrelles cover! #Segrelles would go on to become famous in Europe with his European-style comic books (bande dessinees) The Mercenary. His trade were actual oil paintings, and in later years he would switch to computers.
@SFRuminations
I used to not like his books Mercenary that much either, because of the somewhat wooden characters, the lack of dynamics. But recently have started appreciating the books more because of the great landscapes and atmosphere, and some great storylines.
What is it you don’t appreciate? And is that based on book covers, or have you had the chance to read the mercenary comics?
(And if you still follow Aral Balkan, you probably don't want to follow me. Cause if you are OK with his antisemitism and Holocaust relativism I wonder where our common base could ever be)
@tante@MattMerk@katzenberger
That’s got nothing to do with antisemitism at all. He acknowledges the WW2 genocide and calls what’s happening in Gaza right now also genocide. Shame on you for suggesting otherwise.
@harriorrihar@mrcompletely
Respect that, and are you really saying that you are not at least inspired by Moebius?
(Not meant in a bad way, your art is beautiful)
@mrcompletely@harriorrihar
Yes I really like all 3 pieces.
I didn’t only refer to the guy being inspired by Arzak, all of the three drawing look very much like Moebius, the one of the girl especially.
That’s meant as a compliment.
I just don’t know if you are maybe not a European and how well you know Moebius
@mrcompletely@harriorrihar
You’re probably right, as a BD fan I hope you are. I.m.o. Moebius is one of the greatest artists of the 20th century and I hope he gets the respect he deserves, and his art will live on.
By 2040, Dutch railways will operate 700,000 bike parking spaces at 410 stations nationwide.
Every single one is free of charge—at least for the first 24 hours—because they realize their purpose isn’t to create a new source of revenue… it’s to create a new source of passengers.
@SirTapTap I’d be more interested in the trilogy about the high school years of supreme leader Snoke. Snoke homecoming, Snoke more than 12 parsecs from home, and Snoke no way home.
@TiffyBelle Don’t know about that, looks like it’s predetermined already. Such a strange situation that Scottish players have an incentive to lose with big numbers, and have no reason at all to even try and win this game 🥸🥸🥸
