FULL OF PRYDE CHARITY EVENT
the piece i did for the event will be going up for auction on ebay soon. it’s a signed and numbered 1 of 1 19”x13” giclee print on museum quality (fancy) archival paper
lots of great entries can be seen here
i’m planning on using it to post sketches or drawings i wouldn’t normally consider fit for my blog and to post
work-in-progress shots of the more elaborate projects.
i’m currently working on a galapagos saddleback tortoise, which i’ll post shortly. or is that ‘tweet shortly’?

and here’s the bookplate

MERRICKS NOW AVAILABLE
amazon is being a bit strange though, so anyone who’s ordered it, or is trying to order it through them, the ‘out of stock’ issue should be fixed soon (i actually don’t know why it’s still broken, they should have all the books by now). however, the book is available immediately in the ‘new and used section on the page’. it’s also available on ebay and things from another world.

kevin hanna from frogchildren studios
is doing a great job of
putting it all together and disseminating it to the
masses. thanks again man!
oh yeah, and some very cool people have said some very
cool things about it, check it out:
"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
"The mind of Barnaby Ward must be very much like the
streets of the Barbary Coast: filled with lurking
dangers and surreal realities that tantalize your eye
while plucking your nerves like the strings of an old
guitar. It's as if, for a short time, you're allowed to
see through the eyes of Alice, the White Rabbit, and
the Queen of Hearts all at once, with Ward's twisted
line work heightening the excitement of your slide down
the rabbit hole."
- Scott Morse Spagetti Western, Soulwind
"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
"The stark, surrealist atmosphere of Barnaby's art is
quite captivating. It manages a perfect balance between
cinematic world building and graphical
minimalism."
- Dave Roman Agnes Quill
