As I got older I thought I wanted to be a painter, (and then a sculptor, and then a printmaker) but I kept finding myself returning to drawing, even in those other mediums I tried out. It’s been my love since I was a kid, and I just never stopped. (Draftsman? It’s wild to me we still don’t have a word for it). Mara Ramirez : Hi! So, I have always been a drawer. Let’s start with the most basic question of all : how long have you been making comics, and what was it that got you interested in the medium in the first place? I recently had the opportunity to chat with Ramirez on subjects far and wide, and it was such a fascinating exchange that I honestly feel I’d probably be doing you all a tremendous disservice by loading you up with a heavy preamble rather than turning the floor over to the artist with all due haste, and so, with that in mind -įour Color Apocalypse : First off Mara, thanks for agreeing to this interview - it’s no secret that your book MOAB was one of my favorite comics of the past year, so I’m delighted to have the opportunity to talk to you you for my site. An undisputed master at conveying what I would call, for lack of a better term, “emotive memory,” Ramirez’ debut graphic novel MOAB resonates in ways both entirely new and oddly, even comfortingly, familiar upon successive re-reads. I’ve been championing the work of Mara Ramirez to anyone willing to listen since first stumbling upon it in the middle part of last year.
