“

In the books, I found him to be a much more understanding guy.

I feel that he really likes people a little bit more than I had seen recently — not that he can necessarily communicate that very well. He likes the underdog, and he likes people who are downtrodden, who are having a hard time.

He generally wants to help. I found him to be a much more helpful person, so I tried to put a bit of that in, even though he doesn’t quite pull it off.

Voyage d’Hermes


In 2011, Moebius was hired by fragrance company Hermès to create nine illustrations for a new line called Voyage d’Hermes. They would be a part of a wide marketing campaign to promote the line, including this commercial based somewhat on these drawings. Three of these images are direct recreations of scenes from various Aedena stories featuring Stel & Atan.

Go here to find them at a high enough resolution to fill any desktop wallpaper.

nypl: To celebrate the birthday of legendary author J.R.R. Tolkien, we share this inspirational quote from his book The Hobbit (of which we have the 1937 book jacket, illustrated by the author himself):  “There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.”  In memory of Tolkien, stop by the library, and if you haven’t done so already, pick up a copy of The Hobbit or  the Lord of the Rings books and get lost in this mystical adventure.

texasenchantment: growing-up-indie: On December 18, 1972, Joe Biden’s wife and one-year-old daughter were killed in an automobile accident while Christmas shopping in Hockessin, Delaware. Neilia Biden’s station wagon was hit by a tractor-trailer as she pulled out from an intersection; the truck driver was cleared of any wrongdoing. Biden’s two sons, Beau and Hunter, were critically injured in the accident, but both eventually made full recoveries. Biden considered resigning to care for them; he was persuaded not to by Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield and others and was sworn in to office from one of their bedsides. The accident left Biden filled with both anger and religious doubt: “I liked to [walk around seedy neighborhoods] at night when I thought there was a better chance of finding a fight … I had not known I was capable of such rage … I felt God had played a horrible trick on me.” To be at home every day for his young sons, Biden began the practice of commuting every day by Amtrak train for 1½ hours each way from his home in the Wilmington suburbs to Washington, D.C., which he continued to do throughout his Senate career. In the aftermath of the accident, he had trouble focusing on work, and appeared to just go through the motions of being a senator. In his memoirs, Biden notes that staffers were taking bets on how long he would last. A single father for five years, Biden left standing orders that he be interrupted in the Senate at any time if his sons called. In remembrance of his wife and daughter, Biden does not work on December 18, the anniversary of the accident. Excuse me while I go cry.

waltzingmatildablog: It’s true.

waltzingmatildablog:

It’s true.

“Reading the comments on Sandy Hook — the ones that openly advocate sacrificing the lives of our children for unfettered “freedom” of adults, the ones that suggest that all those teachers should have been armed to the teeth, that the Westboro Baptist Church is praising “God’s judgment,” — even my own mother’s stance that crazy people are just going to do crazy shit and that this has nothing to do with guns — as if it’s just that simple. Well. There is a time warp, a black hole that blooms in my soul. For every outraged indigence about “trampling” on the second amendment, with every word and breath, I am that young woman again, sitting in her truck in a parking lot, alone except for a 911 operator. And I am screaming. And screaming. And screaming.”
