Today I learned that Moebius did illustrations for Maxwell House Coffee magazine ads. And they are amazing.
Whatever they paid him, they got a fantastic deal.
The subject looks like Jane Goodall. God, I love the linework so fucking much
Maxwell was the brand of choice («Joyce») for Arno Schmidt and we would have loved these illustrations, too
Aren't they? 😊
I'd genuinely hang those up on a wall
As someone with a fear of heights, and just anxious in general, the image of just casually strolling across that bridge all unbothered and sipping coffee is so powerful to me. They're all just such powerful images, my God
Is it weird that i want prints of old coffee (and terrible coffee at that) advertisements to hang on my walls? The art is amazing.
