I know this probably isn't relevant to 95% of the folks here but if you are within acceptable travel distance from Paris should head out within the next weeks and visit the Miyazaki & Moebius exhibition.
My wife drove me out there last weekend for my b-day and it was great. Lots of concept drawings, watercolor paintings, storyboards and productiuon animation cels.
I didn't know Moebius except for one comic but apparently he's a well know artist and made a lot of concept art for the movies Aliens, Dune, the Abyss, Tron and Willow.

While you're in town you can check out the Giger expo. Didn't have time for that but I might come back since it will be there until mid May.

I second what Ikraan says, go see them if you have the time. The Giger one is not very known hence you can make the full visit with no one bothering you, awesome!
Go go go polycounters

I'm here chained to a workstation,...ain't gonna see sheeit.
