So, what’s been going on in the world while I was away? Art, Color!!!, Comics, General laziness, Mea culpa, Rose Madder | (0)
Between working on Rose Madder and my day job on Futurama, I needed to pull back a little. So, sorry for the silence. But, I'm back, and will try to post a little more regularly from here on out. A couple of brief announcements: I won't be at the San Diego Comicon, but my friends at Icecat Books were nice enough to be willing to pass out my promo postcards for Rose Madder. So, if you're at Nerd Prom anytime this weekend, please check out their booth (#O-05) and get a free postcard! And speaking of Rose Madder, there are just a ...

Rose Madder is here Art, Color!!!, Rose Madder, Sales pitch | (0)
I'm launching my Rose Madder webcomic, at www.rose-madder.com (don't forget the hyphen!). It'll start with a re-presentation of my prologue, "Ozymandias", and then roll into the new material. A page a week, I hope I can keep that schedule. The third and final part of my History of Rose Madder series will be up here in a few days, as soon as I write it. Rose Madder is © 2010 A.L. Baroza

I recently did a pinup illustration for Mary Bellamy's upcoming second volume of her Faux Facts graphic novel series. It's an all-ages book chronicling the wacky adventures of a group of girls, drawn in that style the kids like these days.

A History Of Rose Madder Part 2: Rising Stars Of Manga Art, Comics, Oh my wacky job, Rose Madder, Shop talk, Theory for free | (0)
The series is a coming-of-age story of people in their early twenties, that twilight zone between the teen years and adulthood. It's a time where hard decisions are made and responsibilities are shouldered...whether you're ready or not. It's about the bubble of carefree, teenage self-absorption suddenly bursting and coming to terms with harsh reality and the closing of windows of opportunities. It's a teen drama about the end of the teen drama. As such, it will appeal to older teens and young adults, and may be of special interest to readers who have been following shoujo manga over the years and are looking for stories reflecting their ...

The second in my Tana Nile, Space Colonizer series. This time, Tana cops a pose from that Kristen Bell movie poster, the one that makes me ask "How did they make Veronica Mars look like a complete idiot?" Tana Nile created by Jack Kirby.

Blast From The Past: Woman With A Really Big Gun (plus: bonus Leela!) Art, Blast from the past, Clearly I'm pandering, Oh my wacky job, Shop talk | (0)
I was rummaging through my old portfolios recently and I came across this old thing, drawn with marker on bristol board. Lessee, big gun? Check. Pouches? Check. Inexplicable leg and arm straps? Check. Big clunky space boots? Check. Impossible female anatomy? Check. It must be the '90s! 1997, to be exact. Let's hear it for a slightly more than half-assed attempt to draw in the "Image style". No wonder my comics career never took off. Look at that big gun, the perspective's all messed up on it. And never mind that her left arm is horrifically short (or, rather, just not properly ...
