Enjoy!


Alex Rodrik: How’d you get involved with Space Goat?

Jheremy Raapack: Quentin Shaw QEW Publishing entrou em contato comigo por e-mail e me apresentou Shon C. Bury, da Space Goat. Devido a um trabalho que ele viu que chamou bastante sua atenção na Comi-Con International. Era um trabalho que estava produzindo para Bioroid Studio. Desde então Shon e eu viemos conversando por — email e chat e encontramos objetivos em comum.

Quentin [Shaw] from QEW Publishing sent me an email and introduced me to Shon C. Bury from Space Goat through an email. It was spurred by some work I did for Bioroid Studio which got a lot of attention at the San Diego Comic-Con International. Ever since then Shon C. Bury and I just kept talking, emailing, and found we had some objectives in common.

AR: Tell us a bit about yourself, how’d you get involved in the industry? What drew you to the world of comics?

JR: Acredito que minha paixão despertou no colegial e tive a certeza que seria um desenhista de comic book. inicie nessa fase a colecionar comics. Mas foi com 17 anos que comecei a estudar formalmente arte. Depois de mandar algumas amostras teste sozinho para a Marvel o diretor de arte Darren Auck me aconselhou a estudar mais expressões e me indicou alguns livros de anatomia e expressões de Andrew Loomis e Burne Hogath.

Um tempo depois meu primeiro trabalho profissional, foram para um editora egpcia AK Comics eu desenhei algumas edições de “Aya: Princess of Darkness” e também “Zein: The Last Pharaoh”, depois Disso me envolvi com o estúdio Bioroid que desenhei a mini-serie Zecta e também alguns trabalho para Hays Entertainment. Fiz duas paticipações da Marvel em “Skaar: Son of Hulk” e também uma historia escrita por Chris Claremont, “Hulk vs. Wolverine”.

I’d have to say my passion was truly awoken while I was in college. I just knew I had to pencil for comics and it was then that I started collecting comics. But, I actually started studying art formally at the age of 17. After submitting some test samples to Marvel, Darren Auck, Marvel’s art director advised me to study more expressions and showed me some books on anatomy and expressions by Andrew Loomis and Burne Hogath.

Sometime later, my first job was for AK Comics. I worked on some editions of Aya: Princess of Darkness and Zein: The Last Pharaoh. After that I started work with Bioroid Studio on a mini-series called Zecta. At that time I was also working with Hays Entertainment. Then I got a chance to work on two special editions for Marvel — Skaar: Son of Hulk and a story written by Chris Claremont, X-Men vs. Hulk.

AR: What has been the most exciting project you’ve had the chance to already work on? What title would you jump at doing if you got the chance?

JR: Zecta Foi muito divertida e um projeto que dei a alma por ela (Acredito quem curte comics vai amar muito) e também Leviticus Cross (adoro essa série)… Mas trabalhar com Chris Claremont foi importante pois ele era e é uma lenda eu lia comics dele na adolescência e estar lado a lado trabalhando com ele foi realmente fantástico. Eu adoraria desenhar o Batman. Ou algum titulo do X-Men ou Thor.

Zecta was a really fun project and one I put a lot of soul into. Leviticus Cross also — I adore that series. But getting to work with Chris Claremont was and honor. He’s a living legend and I remember reading his comics when I was in my teens. So to be working with him is great. As for a title I’d love to draw, I’d have to say Batman or any X-Men or Thor titles.

AR: How has Space Goat affected the way you view and exist within the industry?

JR: Eu acredito no potencial, dedicação e sinceridade,Ttrês pontos fortes que me chamaram bastante atenção para Space Goat.

Well, you know, it was the potential I saw for myself with representation by Space Goat. Their devotion and sincerity is really refreshing.

AR: What are some of your current projects that our readers should keep their eyes open for?

JR: A mini serie ZECTA , Leviticus CROSS # 6 em diante e o próximo que estarei fazendo, Pela WILDSTORM/ DC, (realmente não acreditei quando me chamaram para desenhar-la Adoro aquela série) espero falar mais sobre ela no futuro.

Greande abraço a todos e fiquem de olhos no Novos talentos da Space Goat e em MIM 🙂

Zecta, the mini-series. Leviticus Cross #6 and onward, for Wildstorm. To be honest I couldn’t believe it when they called me up to draw it…I love that series! And now I just wait and see what more comes for me in the future.

I also want to send a big hug to everyone. Keep your eyes on the new talent coming out of Space Goat. …and ME! 🙂
