For the current GAP/Banana Republic integrated competition in my integrated design class, I am focusing on the French comic illustrator Jean Giraud, or
Moebius, who was at his most prolific point in the late, 70s and early 80s, featured in Heavy Metal magazine. I recently read his collaborative graphic novel with Alejandro Jodorowsky(of
Holy Mountain,
Santa Sangre, and
El Topo), entitled L'Incal, or
The Incal. Since reading it I have been beyond inspired to create a collection and am currently in the process of watering down some of the designs below for a more mainstream collection.
