Moebius spent time in a great many different locations in the course of his life – France, Japan, Mexico, Tahiti, and of course the United States.Los Angeles occupied a special place in his artistic life. When asked how long he had been living there full time, Moebius told Numa Sadoul: “Since 1985. I lived in Santa Monica first, then in Venice, and now I’m in Woodland Hills, near L.A.”And Moebius in L.A. is the title given to a collection of 136 pages brought out by Casterman in 1988 and containing a large quantity of previously unpublished material. Page 56 of this album repre-sents a beautiful young woman wearing a long tunic, executed on blue paper and signed © Moebius 86 – one of numerous variants which employ the same subject matter, the same technique and the same support, and date back to the days of his company, Starwatcher Graphics Inc, in LA.
