Marco Rudy

Who are you?

I’m Marco Rudy. I am originally from Mozambique. I started working in comics in 2006, and I have been doing that ever since. I’ve worked with Marvel, DC, Boom, a lot of major publishers, and now I’ve worked for myself, because I’ve painted a book as well. most of my artwork has a very particular approach to visual storytelling, in which I try to engage the reader who looks at the layout and design, because there’s a little more story being told there.

How have you developed your style?

I am very influenced by many, better artists like David Mack, who is also here. The way they do their painterly style is very experimental. Got me to try to do the same on my terms. So I finally arrived at what I can call a quote, unquote, lifestyle, in which I try to use the image to tell the story, not just what’s inside. And mostly, if not all of it, is painted with acrylic.

What is going through your head as you paint?

If I’m working on a page for a book, I am laser focus on what it is that I’m trying to say. So everything in that page or in that sequence has to have a reason to exist. If I’m doing something like this at a convention, I’m going with the flow, wherever the next brushstroke brings me, I follow that. So it depends on what I’m doing and when I’m doing it.

Do you have any big projects that came out recently?

I wrote and painted a book, RDW. It’s a fantasy book all painted in acrylics. I’m currently working on book two.

Where can people find you?

I’m very easy to find online @marcorudy. I have my website at leseditionsxicandarinha.com where you can find a digital edition of my book where you can pay what you want.
