HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...
"Beautiful drawings, beautiful women, I couldn't stop turning the pages."
- Jeff Smith Bone, RASL
"Barnaby Ward mixes the class and glamour of european
illustration, with the flair and originality of Japanese manga to create wonderfully compelling and stunning pieces of art !"
- Ashley Wood- Popbot, Metal Gear Solid
"Barnaby Ward has the design sense and color palette that I would kill for, and If I ever meet him in person I'll probably do just that."
- Dave Johnson- 100 Bullets, Batman
"That Barnaby fellow has the imaginative design chops of an Art Ninja! I would hate him if I hadn't decided to love him."
- Dan Hipp - Amazing Joy Buzzards, Gyakushu
"I love the worlds Ward creates, you get the feeling you've visited them before on some oneiric trip, they're in our head deep down there, strangely he seems to have access to them.
Barnaby lets his layouts breath and stretch their legs in beautiful full panel pages, the sense of scale in these is powerful and inspiring. His short stories and illustrations in the second part of the book are also absolutely stunning, "Rooftops" is a total stand out. Fantastic!"
- Enrico Casarosa- Pixar
