In the Airtight Garage by Moebius there is a vignette that inspired me to a typical urban club scene, where everyone is crowded together drinking, ordering drinks, and trying to talk despite the din of the music, and I imagined myself there completely out of place.

Carlo Grosoli on Instagram: "FUN BEFORE DINNER: New Year Party 2025 - In the Airtight Garage by Moebius there is a vignette that particularly struck me, and it is the one in which Major Grubert decides to go and look for Cornelius in person, accesses the Second Level, and passes through a gathering where "the sacred songs of Chiram" are being listened to. The scene presents a mass of different overlapping figures with both human and alien features, without perspective. There is a number painted on the wall in the background, and only a line from Major Grubert trying to make his way through. It seems particularly interesting to me, because it is flatter and therefore more graphic. As soon as I saw it, it inspired me to a typical urban club scene, where everyone is crowded together drinking, ordering drinks, and trying to talk despite the din of the music, and I imagined myself completely out of place, because I actually don't care anymore about going out to drink badly and have my ears tortured by music that I didn't choose. But what I hoped to be able to draw was that it wasn't so obvious who my alter ego was in the panel, and that the line could be said by any of the characters. I also hoped to come close to Moebius's drawing style, but this is almost impossible, right? - SEMI-FUN FACTS: / Two of the girls do exist and are actually sisters. / There's a boy with extreme skin insertions and a tatoo around his neck. / The girl with headphones could be one I liked decades ago, but she was very arrogant. / Big man’s tattoo is inspired by graphic designer Art Chantry’s one. / I met more than one punk with that spikey hair. / There's a punkish girl in search for love who talks a lot. / There's a mix between Rick Rubin and a punk from the Ken Shiro series. / That cap is branded Appennini Tortellini @appenninitortellini - MUSIC: This song by Rita Coolidge gives the perfect 80s pathetic and sad vibe like a pointless night in a club. - Fun Before Dinner is broadcast by Carlo Grosoli whenever he can, but mostly before eating and drinking. - #illustration #comix #comics #comicart #digitalart #drawing #moebius #jeangiraud #funbeforedinner"
